How to open AWP file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AWP 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 Ability Office

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file AWP.
Programs to open AWP file
Remember to download programs supporting AWP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ability Office with AWP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AWP file to open in the Ability Office 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AWP file with the Ability Office application.
Step 3. Update Ability Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ability Office program with the Ability Write Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Ability Plus Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AWP 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:
The AWP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AWP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AWP or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AWP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AWP file. 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 AWP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ability Plus Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AWP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move AWP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AWP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AWP file again. However, some background programs may block the AWP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
