Office files cannot be QuickViewed in Yosemite 10.10.4


Posted on Jul 18, 2015 by Happy Horse

I installed Yosemite a couple of weeks after 10.10.4 was released and never had a problem with Archive Browser. I use Quick View a lot to peek at the documents inside zip files and never had any issues with Mavericks. Now that I'm in Yosemite, I have problems Quick Viewing MS Office files as shown in the screenshot.

I did the following test: I zipped several kinds of files using the Compress menu option in Finder and then opened the archive with Archive Browser and tried to Quick View the files contained within. Tested JPG, MP4, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX and PDF. Only JPG, MP4, PDF, PPT and PPTX could be Quick Viewed. All the other file types just showed the spinning lines. Extracting the files from the archive and Quick Viewing them does work with no issues.

Could you please take a look? Thanks in advance!

I can't reproduce this. A test file with a .doc in it previews fine.

Can you send me the actual file you're having trouble with?

This is a screen capture I made with a Microsoft documentation. I can open the TXT and PDF files, but not the DOC file.

More information: OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 was installed clean because my original hard drive broke. I put in a SSD and installed it. I reinstalled everything again and did not use Migration Assistant.

More information: Tried removing and reinstalling TAB from the Mac App Store, but it didn't fix the issue.
