How to open HMHD file?
An often recurring problem with Word Hyphenation Format is that HMHD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file HMHD 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 HMHD 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 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 HMHD files.
Programs to open HMHD file
Remember to download programs supporting HMHD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with HMHD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HMHD file still does not use the Microsoft Word program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HMHD file with the Microsoft Word application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Word program with the Word Hyphenation 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HMHD 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 HMHD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HMHD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HMHD file. However, remember that not every infected HMHD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HMHD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 HMHD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HMHD 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. Copying the HMHD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. However, some background programs may block the HMHD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
