How to open HWL file?
An often recurring problem with Corel WordPerfect Shared Writing Tools 9.0 is that HWL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file HWL 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 HWL 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WordPerfect Office is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office into the system search engine.

Programs to open HWL file
Remember to download programs supporting HWL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with HWL files
If, despite the installed application, the HWL 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. 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 HWL file with the WordPerfect Office application.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Corel WordPerfect Shared Writing Tools 9.0 there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 HWL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The HWL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HWL file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 HWL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HWL 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 HWL 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HWL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HWL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move HWL 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HWL file again. However, some background programs may block the HWL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
