    WIndows 10 & Whatsapp Web problem: MS Office files being turned into Zip files when...


    Hi.


    Whenever I attach an Office Doc (Word, PowerPoint or Excel) to Whatsapp Web, the file is automatically converted into a Zip file.


    People I send messages to are unable to open the file (esp on their phones).


    I want the files to remain as doc, xls or ppt files.


    How do I solve this issue?

    :)

    Folders with zip files

    I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
    How can I extract all zip files inside of all folders?

    I need to convert Quattro pro files to windows Office 2007

    The link says for Office 2000 and 2003. Will this work for 2007?
