How to open HYD file?

An often recurring problem with Corel WordPerfect Hyphenation Dictionary is that HYD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HYD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HYD 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WordPerfect Office 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 HYD files.

Programs to open HYD file

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

Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with HYD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HYD file to open in the WordPerfect Office application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HYD file with the WordPerfect Office program.

Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version

If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Corel WordPerfect Hyphenation Dictionary there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 HYD file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The HYD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HYD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HYD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HYD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HYD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HYD files. 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HYD 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.
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. It is best to move HYD 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 you have to wait for the session to the file HYD to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
