How to open FX2 file?

Step 1. Install WordPerfect Office

Programs to open FX2 file

Remember to download programs supporting FX2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with FX2 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FX2 file still does not use the WordPerfect Office program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FX2 file with the WordPerfect Office application.

Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version

If, despite the association of the WordPerfect Office program with the Corel WordPerfect Office Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FX2 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 FX2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FX2 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FX2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FX2 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 FX2 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FX2 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FX2 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FX2 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
