Step 1. Install Microsoft Word

Programs to open BINA file
Remember to download programs supporting BINA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with BINA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BINA file to open in the Microsoft Word application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Word application as the default for handling the BINA file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Word program with the Microsoft Word 5 For Mac Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BINA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The BINA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BINA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BINA file. However, remember that not every infected BINA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BINA 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BINA file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft 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 BINA 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move BINA to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BINA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
