How to open DFV file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DFV 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Office is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Office into the operating 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 DFV files.
Programs to open DFV file
Remember to download programs supporting DFV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with DFV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DFV file still does not use the Microsoft Office program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DFV file with the Microsoft Office program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Office with MS Office Word Print Format Template 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DFV 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 DFV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DFV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DFV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DFV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DFV 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DFV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DFV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DFV file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DFV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
