IE8 is opening office 2010 files as zip files. I Googled the problem and found many articles about office 2007 and the fix was to add the docx and xlsx extensions to the /etc/mime.types file. I did all that and restarted httpd.
Now instead of IE8 treating "docx" and "xlsx" files as .zip files it treats them as "doc" and "xls" and thus when opening the files from a link in IE8 a converter message pops up that requires 3 or more clicks until the file opens. My server is red hat enterprise linux 5.2. Does anyone know what else to do to enable IE8 to open Office 2010 files? Thanks Marc
