Ever since turning on FileVault, I have not been able to open up PowerPoint and Excel attachments in emails. Word attachments open up fine as do other types of attachments.

I have completely wiped off my computer and started with a clean OS, then FileVault, then Office install to see if turning on FileVault before the first install of Office would fix the problem.

If I save the attachments to the desktop or a local drive they still will not open. If I save the attachments to a non-encrypted drive (such as in the root folder), the attachments open up just fine.

I also cannot save Excel or PowerPoint files anywhere on the FileVault account - they can only be saved to a non-encrypted location.

There obviously is a difference between how Word and Excel/PowerPoint handles documents but right now, this is causing a real problem as my company requires company data to be encrypted on our computers.
