Uploading office 2007 files

[LollumWaaksens]

Hi,

Searched the board but couldn't find a decent answer to my question.
Several times I upload Office 2007 format files (docx, xlsx), put the link in the code and save the page.
But when I click to open or download them, all I get is a bunch of random letters.
When I convert it into a 2003 format (doc, xls), then upload and do the steps it downloads as it should have.
But lately I can't convert because of several features not supported in the 2003 format.
So, how can I get the 2007 format to work properly?

Thanks in advance

If your account is hosted on a DirectAdmin based server then you'll need to discuss this with your hosting provider. If it's not, then you're asking n the wrong forum.

Just go to account MimeTypes and define the type you need.

You will find on following link: Mime Types List

Thx, I added the files in the MimeTypes part of my account.
Should it work now or are there other things I must do?

 

[Greenhost]

It must. But if doesn't work as Jeff said you should discuss this with your hosting provider.

Strange because it still doesn't work.
I added a picture of the MimeTypes part, could well be that I did something wrong.
If not, I'll try and contact the host.
