When I email myself a document I've created on Microsoft Word and press the open in button pages no longer shows up. However, when I email myself another document created elsewhere it does show up. What have I done wrong. By the way I have downloaded many documents already from the same word files.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Make sure the document has the doc or docx file extension. This is how iOS knows what apps are compatible.

Edit: I'm not sure if I got the docx extension right. It's the newer format anyway.

docx is right. Take the old extension and add an x: pptx, xlsx, docx.

Hi Barney--I just deleted your other post as it was a duplicate of this one. Please do not do this since it makes it hard for other members to read and help you of there are multiple threads of the same topic present. It is also against forum rules.

Thanks,

Skimonkey ~
