convert .docx to doc

[arunaumuc]

Hi,

I have to allow an upload of .docx files to MX 7 server. A download as well should be allowed.
But the problem is does MX7 allow a upload of .dox file to the server if .confg.js is configured?
1. If it allows how and what do I confifure in the web server?

2. If a download is allowed, then some of the members do not have MS office 2007, so it doesnot allow them to open the file. So a conversion is required when a download has to be done. Or vice versa, a docx file can be uploaded with doc extention if a conversion is allowed.
Can you help me with the conversion of .docx file to .doc in CF. If a solution exists and if you had tried it. I was not able to find anythin on the web.

Thank you.

1. To allow upload of docx file be sure that the accept attribute of your cffile tag includes the mime type "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"

2. To allow users of earlier versions of MS Office to open the file they will need to install an update from Microsoft.

Bob,

I was able to upload and read the .docx file.
But now the problem is my IE doesnot open the file. The application has a hyperlink to the .docx file. When I open it in another window or another tab or try to save it or convert to PDF using the right click button it still doesnot work. How can I make .docx read from the IE or save it from IE into local machine. Do I have to configure the webserver or IE should be manipulated?

What error messages, if any, do you receive?

What MIME type does the Mac browser associate with docx?
