How to open CWT file?
The most common problem when using ClarisWorks Texture Format is that a specific CWT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CWT, 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 CWT 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 ClarisWorks
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ClarisWorks is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ClarisWorks into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CWT files.

Remember to download programs supporting CWT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ClarisWorks with CWT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CWT file still does not use the ClarisWorks program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ClarisWorks application as the default for handling the CWT file.
Step 3. Update ClarisWorks to the latest version
If, however, after binding ClarisWorks with ClarisWorks Texture Format 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 Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CWT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CWT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CWT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CWT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CWT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CWT 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 option of recovering data from damaged CWT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ClarisWorks
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CWT 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CWT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
