The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ALT6 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 Adobe PageMaker

Programs to open ALT6 file

Step 2. Create association of Adobe PageMaker with ALT6 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ALT6 file to open in the Adobe PageMaker 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ALT6 file with the Adobe PageMaker program.
Step 3. Update Adobe PageMaker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Adobe PageMaker program with the Adobe PageMaker 6 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 Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ALT6 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ALT6 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ALT6 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ALT6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ALT6 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ALT6 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ALT6 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. If possible, you can try to move the ALT6 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ALT6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ALT6 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
