How to open EQN file?
The main problem with Corel WordPerfect Equation Format is that the EQN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EQN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EQN 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 WordPerfect Office
The first step is to check if the computer has the WordPerfect Office program installed. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file EQN.
Programs to open EQN file
Remember to download programs supporting EQN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with EQN files
If, despite the installed application, the EQN file does not start in the WordPerfect Office application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 EQN file with the WordPerfect Office program.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WordPerfect Office program with the Corel WordPerfect Equation Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 EQN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EQN 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EQN file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected EQN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EQN file. 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 ability to automatically repair EQN file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EQN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move EQN to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EQN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EQN file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
