How to open DOCXML file?

The most common problem when using Microsoft Word XML Document is that a specific DOCXML is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DOCXML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DOCXML 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 Word

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Word program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Word in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DOCXML with Microsoft Word. Below you will find a list of applications that support DOCXML files.

Programs to open DOCXML file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with DOCXML files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DOCXML file still does not use the Microsoft Word program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Word application as the default for handling the DOCXML file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft Word with Microsoft Word XML Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DOCXML file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 DOCXML file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DOCXML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DOCXML files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 DOCXML files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DOCXML 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DOCXML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DOCXML file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
