How to open AWW file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AWW 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 AWW.
Programs to open AWW file
Remember to download programs supporting AWW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ability Office with AWW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AWW file still does not use the Ability Office 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AWW file with the Ability Office application.
Step 3. Update Ability Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding Ability Office with Ability Write Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 AWW file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AWW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AWW file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AWW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AWW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AWW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AWW file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Ability Plus Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AWW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move AWW to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AWW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
