Hi,
I tried uploading a .docx file (office word2007) through the standard drupal upload feature, as well as IMCE.
Everytime I then go to download the file through drupal, it seems to have been zipped up, and split into a load of unreadable files.
docx IS allowed in my allowed files list..but makes no difference.
Does anyone know how to cure this problem?
Thanks
Rich

I was having this same
I was having this same problem with Mediawiki Turns out it's a MIME Type issue on the webserver.
I found this blog post from someone that was having that problem on their SBS server. Read about the solution: http://uksbsguy.com/blogs/doverton/archive/2007/03/13/how-to-get-company...
What I had to do was just add in the custom MIME types for the Office 2007 file extensions I wanted to make available for download. Once I put the MIME types on my server everything worked as expected.
Here is the list of all the new Office 2007 MIME types:
'Set the MIME types to be added
' MimeTypesToAddArray = Array(".manifest", "application/manifest", _
' ".xaml", "application/xaml+xml", ".application", "application/x-ms-application", ".deploy", "application/octet-stream", _
' ".xbap", "application/x-ms-xbap")
MimeTypesToAddArray = Array( _
".docm","application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12" , _
".docx","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document" , _
".dotm","application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12" , _
".dotx","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template" , _
".potm","application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12" , _
".potx","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template" , _
".ppam","application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12" , _
".ppsm","application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12" , _
".ppsx","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow" , _
".pptm","application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12" , _
".pptx","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation" , _
".xlam","application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12" , _
".xlsb","application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12" , _
".xlsm","application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12" , _
".xlsx","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet" , _
".xltm","application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12" , _
".xltx","application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template" _
)
Hope this helps.
I added the MIMEtypes for
I added the MIMEtypes for the office 2007 in apache>conf>MIMEtype but the files will be download as office 2003 version.
for example if I upload a word document with "docx" format, the file will be converted to doc (the 2003 file system).
I add the below lines in my apache MIME and then restarted:
application/vnd.openxmlformats docx pptx xlsx
any idea?
Problem solved for me !
In your .htacess you must put this .
AddType application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 .docm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template dotx
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12 potm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template potx
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 ppam
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 ppsm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow ppsx
AddType application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 pptm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 xlam
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 xlsb
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 xlsm
AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet xlsx

Minor typo, please take note
Hi -
There is a minor typo in the first "AddType" directive. The line should end with "docm" instead of ".docm" and as a result it appears that Apache ignores everything that follows. Once I made the change, everything worked correctly.
The following article has a few additional mime-type definitions for Office 2007, if you are interested: http://wdg.uncc.edu/Microsoft_Office_2007_MIME_Types_for_Apache_and_IIS.
One final thing - I put the "AddType" directives at the end of my ".htaccess" file. FYI.
Thank you for the information mrgoz - it is appreciated.
I confirm that this solution
I confirm that this solution works for D6.13.
change '.docm' to 'docm' on the first line
As long as you make this change, it works great. Put it in your .htaccess file in the web root
THANKS FOR FIX
Thanks
This fixed a problem I was having with links in Webform that were unable to properly connect to .docx files. THANKS a million

on Mac OS X Server...
... you can add MIME types to Apache via the Server Admin application:
Web > Settings > MIME types

I added those lines of code to my htaccess file and it worked for some docx files but not all, any ideas? I'm using Views to display a link to download the file.
