If you’ve run into a situation where a user can open a Word 2003 file on SharePoint Server but is directed to save the file locally, try the following solution. I had a client who ran into this situation and was able to fix using the technique described below.<\/p>\n

1. Uninstall the SharePoint support from Office 2007 applications (e.g. Visio).<\/p>\n

2. Set the document files (e.g Word, Excel) to not open in the browser as follows. This procedure is for Windows XP Professional.<\/p>\n

a) Open Windows Explorer.<\/p>\n

b) Go to Tools, Folder Options.<\/p>\n

c) Click on File Types tab.<\/p>\n

d) Highlight the document extension for the file type, e.g. highlight DOC in the extensions column.<\/p>\n

g) Click OK twice to close all windows.<\/p>\n
