How to open DCTXC file?

The main problem with Microsoft Office IME Open Extended Dictionary is that the DCTXC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DCTXC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DCTXC 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 Microsoft Office

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Office application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Office in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DCTXC with Microsoft Office. Below is a list of programs that support the file DCTXC.

Programs to open DCTXC file

Remember to download programs supporting DCTXC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with DCTXC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DCTXC file to open in the Microsoft Office application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 Microsoft Office application as the default for handling the DCTXC file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Office program, it is possible that Microsoft Office IME Open Extended Dictionary requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DCTXC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The DCTXC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DCTXC 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DCTXC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DCTXC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DCTXC files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DCTXC files. 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 file DCTXC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DCTXC 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DCTXC file again. 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.
