  Hi Ahmed,

  Thanks very much for trying to help.

  I see that there are issues using IE, so I'm trying this with Firefox and with Chrome browsers, both the most up to date versions, and I still have the problem.

  I've run the hotfix, but it says there are no products affected by this package on this system.

  Any further ideas?

  Regards,
  David

  Hi David,

  Did you install the hotfix in the article below? If so, make sure the hotfix is installed in the server which installs the office 2013.

  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2726997/description-of-the-office-2013-hotfix-package-owssupp-x-none-msp-june

  And if the issue still exists, re-install office 2013.

  More reference:

  Solved: The document could not be opened for editing. A Microsoft SharePoint Foundation compatible application could not be found to edit the document.
