The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CBD 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 WordPerfect Office
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WordPerfect Office is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CBD with WordPerfect Office.

Programs to open CBD file
Remember to download programs supporting CBD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with CBD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CBD file still does not use the WordPerfect 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the CBD file.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WordPerfect Office program with the Corel WordPerfect Dictionary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CBD 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 CBD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CBD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CBD or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CBD 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 CBD 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CBD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CBD 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. Copying the CBD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CBD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CBD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
