My major cli\u00adent uses mostly Microsoft products: Out\u00adlook + Exchange and Office. It turns out that the com\u00adpat\u00adib\u00adil\u00adity with Open\u00adOf\u00adfice is lim\u00adited when it comes to large doc\u00adu\u00adments and defined styles, so I upgraded my old Office 2003 to Office 2010 on my Win\u00addows 7 PC<\/span> desktop. And then ran into anoth\u00ader prob\u00adlem: file cor\u00adrup\u00adtion in email attachments. <\/p>\n

I use Thun\u00adder\u00adbird 3 to fetch mail via IMAP<\/span> from the Exchange serv\u00ader, but every time someone sent me a Word doc\u00adu\u00adment, I\u2019d get this error mes\u00adsage about not being able to open it in Word 2010 because it was cor\u00adrup\u00adted. If I used the Out\u00adlook Web Access cli\u00adent it worked fine, so it was\u00adn\u2019t a cor\u00adrup\u00adtion at the serv\u00ader. And Word 2003 used to open the same types of doc\u00adu\u00adments sent to me by the same per\u00adson, so at first I wondered if it was some\u00adthing to do with Word\u2019s upgrade.<\/p>\n

Hunt\u00ading around Moz\u00adil\u00adla\u2019s getsatisfaction.com<\/a> web site gave me a point\u00ader to Spe\u00adcial Thun\u00adder\u00adbird IMAP<\/span> Set\u00adtings<\/a> at the Michigan State Uni\u00adversity\u2019s Phys\u00adics-Astro\u00adnomy Com\u00adput\u00ading Sup\u00adport Site (they have inter\u00adest\u00ading art\u00adicles on lots of related issues). Basic\u00adally, the issue is due to Thun\u00adder\u00adbird chunking the file as it pulls it down from the serv\u00ader, which intro\u00adduces some cor\u00adrup\u00adtion. The same appar\u00adently also applies to using the Gmail IMAP<\/span> serv\u00ader, although I haven\u2019t noticed any issues with that. <\/p>\n

To fix it, go into Tools\u2026Options. Select the Advanced tab, click on \u201cCon\u00adfig Edit\u00ador\u201d. Search for chunks. Click on the res\u00adult\u00ading set\u00adtings to make sure they\u2019re all set to \u201cuser set\u201d \u201cfalse\u201d (they will be in bold once this is done). Close the win\u00addow and press OK<\/span> to save. I then restar\u00adted Thun\u00adder\u00adbird to be on the safe side (not all con\u00adfig set\u00adtings take effect without a restart and I did\u00adn\u2019t feel like test\u00ading it). Then (and the web page I linked to did\u00adn\u2019t include this step), right-click on the account name in the list of accounts\/folders on the left (in the stand\u00adard win\u00addow con\u00adfig\u00adur\u00ada\u00adtion), and choose \u201cProp\u00ader\u00adties\u201d. You should see a \u201cRepair Folder\u201d but\u00adton. Click on this to make Thun\u00adder\u00adbird fetch everything again, with the new settings.<\/p>\n

Prob\u00adlem solved! I still don\u2019t know why Word 2010 had prob\u00adlems with doc\u00adu\u00adments that Word 2003 could read, but I don\u2019t care enough to try to find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
