The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AS$ 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 Microsoft Word

Programs to open AS$ file
Remember to download programs supporting AS$ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with AS$ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AS$ file still does not use the Microsoft Word program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 AS$ file with the Microsoft Word program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Word program, it is possible that Microsoft Word Temporary requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AS$ 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 AS$ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AS$ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AS$ 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 AS$ 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 ability to automatically repair AS$ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AS$ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the AS$ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AS$ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AS$ to close. However, some background programs may block the AS$ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
