If you try to open Office 2007 document (.docx or .xlsx) in Far Manager it will simply open them as a ZIP archive. Clearly, that’s not what you want. Here’s how to fix it:
- Go to Commands › File association.
- Create a new association by pressing Ins.
- Enter
*.doc;*.docx;*.xlsx;*.pptxas a mask. - Enter
@"!.!"as Execute command (used for Enter).
You can still open docx file as an archive by pressing Ctrl+PgDn.
Thanks a lot for the post! This annoyed me for a long time 🙂
🙂 I wonder why they still keep such behavior.
This was a great help, works fine and confirmed me to stay at FAR in the future.
