Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with DF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DF file still does not use the WordPerfect Office 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DF file with the WordPerfect Office application.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Corel Paradox Table Filter there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Corel Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DF 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DF 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DF file. However, remember that not every infected DF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DF file. 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 ability to automatically repair DF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DF to close. 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.
