What is JOURNAL.DOC file?
The file with the extension JOURNAL.DOC is the 3D Image Files file type. It was designed by SolidWorks Corporation. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. SolidWorks Design Journal Template is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is SolidWorks. This was created by SolidWorks Corporation.
How to open JOURNAL.DOC file?
The most common problem when using SolidWorks Design Journal Template is that a specific JOURNAL.DOC is not associated with the program. This causes the file JOURNAL.DOC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JOURNAL.DOC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SolidWorks
The first step is to check if the computer has the SolidWorks program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SolidWorks in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JOURNAL.DOC files.
Programs to open JOURNAL.DOC file
Remember to download programs supporting JOURNAL.DOC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with JOURNAL.DOC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JOURNAL.DOC file to open in the SolidWorks application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JOURNAL.DOC file with the SolidWorks application.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SolidWorks program with the SolidWorks Design Journal Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SolidWorks Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JOURNAL.DOC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JOURNAL.DOC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JOURNAL.DOC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JOURNAL.DOC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JOURNAL.DOC files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JOURNAL.DOC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SolidWorks Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JOURNAL.DOC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the JOURNAL.DOC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the JOURNAL.DOC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JOURNAL.DOC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
