Open unknown file types on SharePoint in desktop app by default

Hi, Stefan Ahrnsen.

Where did you save this file?

On desktop or Onedrive?

If you saved to desktop, go to the Temp folder on your computer. Search for all files that are the same size as your PPT file and open them directly in PowerPoint.

Access temp folder:

Open the start menu > Type: %temp% > OK

Make sure your file is there. If not, let me know!

HI Schmirby

To set Word so that all documents always open in editable mode, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Word.

2. Click on the "File" tab in the upper left corner of the screen.

3. Click on "Options" at the bottom of the left-hand menu.

4. In the Word Options dialog box, click on "Advanced" in the left-hand menu.

5. Scroll down to the "Editing options" section.

6. Make sure the "Allow only this type of editing in the document" option is unchecked.

7. Check the box next to "Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view".

8. Click "OK" to save the changes.

ADDITIONALLY, By default, Word opens documents in "Read Mode" which is designed to make reading and reviewing documents easier. If you prefer to always open documents in "Editable Mode", you can change this setting in Word's options. Here's how:

Open Word and click on "File" in the top left corner.

Click on "Options" in the left-hand menu.

Click on "General" in the left-hand menu.

In the "Startup options" section, uncheck the box next to "Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view".

Click "OK" to save the changes.

Now, when you open a document in Word, it will always open in "Editable Mode". If you want to switch back to "Read Mode", you can do so by clicking on the "View" tab in the ribbon and selecting "Read Mode" from the "View" options.

BEST REGARDS,

Are you able to open the files?

Is the problem that when you are only able to open the files in Read Only mode?

Where your files save to a CD or DVD? If so, the "Read Only" attribute may have been set on and can be turned off by right clicking on a file in Windows Explorer or the File Explorer and then left click on Properties.,

The "Library" folder is hidden by default on macOS. To access it, open a Finder window and click on the "Go" menu while holding down the "Option" key. This will reveal the "Library" option in the menu. Once you have accessed the "Library" folder, you can navigate to the "Preferences" folder and find the file named "com.microsoft.Word.plist".

Alternatively, you can access the "Library" folder by opening a Finder window and pressing "Command + Shift + G" to bring up the "Go to Folder" dialog. Then, type "~/Library" and press "Go". This will take you directly to the "Library" folder.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi,

you can insert video files into your textbook.

You will get an small icon. By clicking on it, the Audio and Video-Tools open in a coloured tab.

Use the wmv-format and import the file. By right click on the file you'll get the possibiliy to play the button, too.

Do you want to see a bigger preview of the video like at YouTube?

Best regards

Andreas
