How to open FMB file?
The main problem with WordPerfect For Win Format Manager Button Bar is that the FMB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FMB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMB 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

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FMB with WordPerfect Office.

Programs to open FMB file
Remember to download programs supporting FMB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with FMB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FMB file to open in the WordPerfect 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FMB 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 WordPerfect For Win Format Manager Button Bar 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 FMB file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FMB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FMB file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FMB file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FMB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FMB 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 FMB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMB 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 FMB 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FMB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FMB file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
