Thanks a lot for the link Anil.
I find out a workaround for the problem.
Deleting the registry entry:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template]
"Extension"=".xltx"Solve the problem.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Now the issue is IE8 client can’t open the attachment of .xlsx file, because they changed into .xltx file via OWA.
As a workaround, I think you may install Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats.
You could download it from here:
If it worked, You could use Group Policy to install the pack for all IE8 client.
