Glad to hear that worked ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#12 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 19:56:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#12 FileSeek thanks! now it works!
I guess the handlers were corrupted or old? ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#11 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 18:52:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#11 FileSeek It shouldn't affect Microsoft Office itself at all.

Thanks!
I can try, but before I do, how will this affect other functionality for MS Office? ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#9 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 18:13:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#9 FileSeek Owen's off today so I'll take over this thread for now

Could you try re-installing the Microsoft Office file handlers? You can download them here: https://download.microsoft.com/download/0/A/2/0A28BBFA-CBFA-4C03-A739-30CCA5E21659/FilterPack64bit.exe ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#8 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 16:29:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#8 FileSeek Hello Owen, any resolution to this?

Here are the files.
The image that's named "FileSeekSearchDoNotDisplayErrors.JPG" is the output when I uncheck the Tools->Settings->Search-> "Show an error for files with no File Handler". This was suggested as the solution on a similar thread. did not work for me.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#6 Wed, 02 Dec 2020 18:39:41 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#6 FileSeek Hi Victor,

Could you try to search with the query your using, and then send me over a screenshot of the results?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#5 Wed, 02 Dec 2020 17:38:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#5 FileSeek Hi Owen,
this is what I see (attached).

If you open up the File Handlers tab in File Seek settings, is .docx listed with the path from Microsoft?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#3 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 17:28:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#3 FileSeek Hello,
I have the same problem. I can't find anything in a Word Document.
I disabled the error checking as described, and have the file handlers enabled.
I also have the "process file contents using File Handlers" checked.
I'm using version 6.4 on Windows 10.
Thanks. ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#2 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 15:21:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93#2 FileSeek Hey Alejandro,

If you open up the Fileseek settings menu, and head to the File Handlers tab, do you see .docx listed?

Thanks! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93 Sun, 20 Sep 2020 20:31:09 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/no-handler-for-docx/?ID=3551169d-89fe-477d-a52d-5a4c2f53cf93 FileSeek I have been using FileSeek since 2 years, without any problem. Today, with no reason, FileSeek is not able to search in DOCX files, any idea why? ]]>
