SYMPTOMS
You use a computer on which 2007 Microsoft Office programs are installed to connect to a document library in a Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 site or in a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 site. When you do this, you experience the following symptoms:
 * Icons that represent 2007 Office files are incorrect. Instead, a generic icon is displayed next to 2007 Office files in the document library.
 * When you click the arrow next to a 2007 Office document in the document library, you do not see an Edit in Microsoft Office  option.

<div class="cause_section">

CAUSE
This behavior occurs because out-of-the-box configurations of SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and out-of-the-box configurations of Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 do not support 2007 Office file types.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
Modify the Docicon.xml file and the Htmltransinfo.xml file to include the file name extensions of the 2007 Office file types that you want. Perform this procedure on each front-end Web server on the server farm. To modify the Docicon.xml file and the Htmltransinfo.xml file to include the file name extensions of 2007 Office file types, follow these steps.

Note The following procedure shows you how to add support for Microsoft Office Word 2007 documents (.docx). Use the same procedure to add support for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 files (.xlsx) and for Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 files (.pptx). <ol> Start Windows Explorer, and then locate the following folder:



</li> Modify the Docicon.xml file. To do this, follow these steps: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> Open the Docicon.xml file.</li> Locate, and then copy the following line:

<Mapping Key=&quot;doc&quot; Value=&quot;icdoc.gif&quot; EditText=&quot;Microsoft Office Word&quot; OpenControl=&quot;SharePoint.OpenDocuments&quot;/>

</li> Paste the line under the line that you copied, and then modify it so that it reads as follows:

<Mapping Key=&quot;docx&quot; Value=&quot;icdoc.gif&quot; EditText=&quot;Microsoft Office Word&quot; OpenControl=&quot;SharePoint.OpenDocuments&quot;/>

</li></ol> </li> Modify the Htmltransinfo.xml file. To do this, follow these steps: <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;"> Locate, and then copy the following line:

<Mapping Extension=&quot;doc&quot; AcceptHeader=&quot;application/msword&quot; HandlerUrl=&quot;Htmltranslate.aspx&quot; ProgId=&quot;SharePoint.OpenDocuments.2&quot;/>

</li> Paste the line under the line that you copied, and then modify it so that it reads as follows:

<Mapping Extension=&quot;docx&quot; AcceptHeader=&quot;application/msword&quot; HandlerUrl=&quot;&quot; ProgId=&quot;SharePoint.OpenDocuments.2&quot;/>

</li></ol> </li> Repeat step 2 and step 3 for each 2007 Office file type that you want. Make sure that you use the appropriate file name extension. For example, do one or both of the following:  To add support for .pptx files, modify the line that you add to the Docicon.xml file and the Htmltransinfo.xml file to include Mapping Key=&quot;pptx&quot; parameter.</li> To add support for .xlsx files, modify the line that you add to the Docicon.xml file and the Htmltransinfo.xml file to include Mapping Key=&quot;xlsx&quot; parameter.</li></ul> </li> Restart Internet Information Services (IIS). To do this, click Start, click Run, type iisreset, and then click OK.</li></ol>
