Hi.  So what actually happens?  (And which version of Evernote are you using?)

Probably it is not possible to open them inline, inside of the app.

Save them to the devices memory, and open them there.

Just tried it and not working for me either, although I work with office files so rarely these days that I don't remember if it ever worked in v10 mobile. What I see is a full screen blank page with a dialog box in the middle saying to save the file offline. Is that what you're seeing, too?

As far as I can tell there doesn't seem to be a way to save the file offline that I can see. I'll try to include a screenshot below of the error:

I used to be able to view excel spreadsheets simply by selecting them in Evernote. Now it says "Can't open this document" with a note under that saying "This file isn't available offline. Make file "Available offline" in the files' options menu."

How do I make the file available offline?

Why do the files not open directly anymore? Do I need another app installed on my phone to view the excel files?

This also happens with word documents.

On my iPhone an Excel-spreadsheet opened with a tap on the attachment without any problem, but in a viewer, not in the Excel app. EN iOS 10.29, iOS 15.4.

Probably this is an iOS feature, borrowed from there, not build into the EN app itself. It looks similar when I have an Email with an Office file and opens it in the Mail client.

No idea for Android. Maybe somebody can give it a try. Or ask support.

On my Android device, I can click on a Word document and the Word app for Android opens.  However, the document doesn't display inside the Word app. I have to download the document and then open from the device storage.

The Android release today 10.30.1 reports a fix for the Office files issue on Android. Certainly fixed for me with Word documents.
