Hi:<br />
<br />
For the first time in almost a year of using Office 365, Outlook just today started giving me an error upon trying to open Word document attachments.<br />
<br />
It gives me that error message saying that Word experienced an error trying to open the file.<br />
<br />
This error even appears if I save the attachment on my desktop and try to open it.<br />
<br />
I tried several suggestions that I found online, but none of them work.<br />
<br />
And, this issue only occurs with Outlook Desktop - not Web Outlook.<br />
<br />
Please let me know how to eliminate this issue.<br />
<br />
Thank you! &nbsp;Much appreciated!<br />

Outlook 365: Cannot Open Word Attachments

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
