Brad,
   Is there a setting to enable this reader view? This morning I was 
able to enter my credentials into Word. I still get the below dialog. 
Intriguing issue.


Office Open XML word processing document 369 KB

From E.T.'s Keyboard...
I reserve the right to be wrong. Which will never happen.

I've been using an iPhone for more than 10 years, and this is how it has always 
worked.
Just to test and make sure nothing has changed, I just now opened a word file 
that was sent to me as an attachment in an email I received earlier this week.

I do not understand why others are having a problem Doing this.

I don't have Word on my phone unless it's built in. I don't know if I'd have 
trouble opening all Word files on my phone or if it's just this one.

Re: microsoft word docs in mail

2024-08-27 Thread Brad Snyder

It should not matter if word is working, or even installed on your iPhone. When 
you open a Microsoft Word document that is attached to an email, the file opens 
in a viewer within the Mail app on your iPhone.
I've been using an iPhone for more than 10 years, and this is how it has always 
worked.
Just to test and make sure nothing has changed, I just now opened a word file 
that was sent to me as an attachment in an email I received earlier this week. 
The word document opened in the viewer within the Mail app on my iPhone as 
expected.
I do not understand why others are having a problem Doing this.

This does not work for me on the iPhone for .docx files. It does for
plain text files and am sure other file types will work.

Try doing just a simple one finger double tap. That should open up the document
in a reader view.

2024-08-27 Thread Lorie McCloud

a sighted person who got the same microsoft word file told us she couldn't open
it either at least not on her phone so I guess it's not an accessibility
issue. she said it was fine on her computer.
