Hello,

this (or similar) issues have come up for several of our customers in the past. We advise them not to use special (language specific) characters in file names as somewhere in the SharePoint integration (don't know wether in Office or Alfresco), URLs are not encoded/decoded properly (in some - not all - constellations of Office version X and Alfresco version Y).
You should check if this issue occurs on the latest Community version as well and if so raise a <a href="https://issues.alfresco.com">JIRA ticket</a> for this issue.

Regards
Axel

Hello Axel,

Thank you for the reply. Now it's difficult not to use special characters as there are yet a lot of folder and file names with that problem, I'll try raising a JIRA ticket.

Regards,

Roger

Hi,

Just in case anyone has the same problem, the only solution I've reached so far is to use older versions of Microsoft Office as it works correctly using Microsoft Office 2007 or Microsoft Office 2003.

Anyway, Alex, as it's a rare problem I guess there are no future plans for this problem, right?

Thank you.

Roger
