I also did the same thing with word with no luck either. I wonder if there is a fix or work around with this. You would think so, but then again we are talking office running in classic and our entourage 2004 in osx. I don't know. I have another problem if any of you guys want to take a stab...

yeah i checked those and added the extensions .xls and associated it with excel, but no luck. I thought that might do it...ARGGGH

but how come when i attach an excel doc or word doc it shows up with the correct icon when it is attached? I think it is that my office is outdated and can handle the newer office docs from my pc users?????

Yeah i bet that is it, but the problem is that i would need to upgrade like 12 computers, i have to somehow convince the bean counters that we need it, which is always fun in any event :)

Yeah it just sucks. But, also my macs are still on office 2001 which runs in classic, and my entourage 2004 runs in osx. I wonder if the older version is the cause. All my word docs, excel docs on my mac show up with the right icon, just when i receive attachments from pc's.

mac to mac fine, mac to pc fine, pc to mac NOT fine.

excel is installed, and if i go into excel and do file open it works, but i want them not to have to do that when opening attachments, it should show up as the right document with the programs installed.

bump, anybody else have an idea? Somebody has to have a fix or at least know of the problem. So again ive fixed the macs sending attachments to pc's by appending filename extensions checkbox in the preferences in entourage. All pc's can now view the attachments correctly. But what about the...

well that is true when sending from mac to pc, i just append filename extensions, but from pc to mac i don't think there is a way to control that, no matter if i add the filename xls or not to the attachments macs can't see it right.

anything particular i need to do on the windows machines to send it correctly, i would have a hard time believing that because i would have to tell the rest of the world who uses a pc this info so my mac users can see the right file types :)

what do you mean by standard, just tried attaching an excel spreadsheet and hit send

I am having some difficulties sending email attachments from my xp pro machine using microsoft outlook to my mac, which uses entourage 2004. Now what happens is for example, from my pc i will send an excel spreadsheet to my mac, when i go to the mac i get the email and i see the attachment...

One problem, the new print server i will be using can't be accessed by a few of the windows users. I can see the print server, but it won't expand for me to select the printers. Must be a rights issue, any help would be much appreciated.

FINALLY I FIGURED THIS OUT! here goes..... I printed a config page of one of the printers, one that is setup for appletalk. I think you have to manually go in and configure it on the actual printer, but it looks like it is all done. You don't need a print server. When you look on the NT...

Okay here is the dillema. Right now we have an NT print server on our network along with a windows 2003 print server. Now the NT is the main print server and only a couple of windows machines are utilizing the windows 2003 print server. Now, i want to get rid of the NT print server completely...

I think since appletalk is on the network already i should try and use it, since it works flawlessly on the NT print server. The problem is when i go and add a appletalk port it wants me to choose a device and it lists the printers that are on the old NT print server. The share names are exact...

Alright, i tried windows printing, i can print anything on the web okay, i went to apple and it printed the main page fine. I went and tried printing a quark document and the printer's data light blinks and it says processing job and then it all of a sudden stops blinking and goes from...

ill check this tomorrow, but i think i already tried windows printing and it did the same thing. Ill keep you updated on how this goes.

Well i have 13 editors that will be connecting to this print server, the problem is the windows NT print server prints the quark, microsoft programs, eps images fine. But, on the 2003 server it prints a bunch of jibborish when printing quark files and sometimes even microsoft documents. These...

Okay is there a service for smb on windows 2003 server that i have to start? Do i have to install the printer on the server using tcp/ip? Thanks, Bob.
