How to open CUST file?
The main problem with QuarkXPress Mac Format Type is that the CUST file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CUST, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CUST 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 QuarkXPress
The first step is to check if the computer has the QuarkXPress program installed. To do this, enter the name QuarkXPress into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CUST files.
Programs to open CUST file
Remember to download programs supporting CUST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuarkXPress with CUST files
If, despite the installed application, the CUST file does not start in the QuarkXPress application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 QuarkXPress application as the default for handling the CUST file.
Step 3. Update QuarkXPress to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuarkXPress with QuarkXPress Mac Format Type there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Quark, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CUST file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The CUST file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CUST file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CUST file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CUST file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CUST file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CUST file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Quark, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CUST 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 CUST file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 CUST file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
