Not able to auto launch DOCX files using the Execute Filter

We are unable to launch any DOCX files, when we have the Execute Filter enabled.

We are able to execute the DOC files, but not the DOCX files. Please advise how we can have the DOCX files auto execute.

In the Excecute file we have the following defined:

!application/msword
!application/x-msword

!application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
!application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template
!application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12
!application/vnd.ms-word.template.macroEnabled.12

Do you have an example of a link that uses the DOCX format?

It seems to work as expected using your Execute file and the following link as an example:
https://www.teamsoftwaresolutions.com/docx/test.html

From the History File:
TSSWKS99 1/18/2018 11:16:08 AM <a!> application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document

Did you enable the Execute filter?

We seem to be using a Joombla back end that has these files stored in a remository and the user clicks on download from there.

That is where the issue seems to be with Execute for DOCX files. The DOC files downloaded from the remository seem to open file through the PWB using the Execute filter.

Without being able to test it directly it will not be possible to give you the information for the execute filter. However you should be able to use the history file to determine what to put into the execute filter file.
