What is LOT file?
The file with the extension LOT is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is LaTeX Project Development Team. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. LaTex Auxiliary Format For List Of Tables appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use LaTeX to handle this file. This is a program created by LaTeX Project Development Team.
How to open LOT file?
An often recurring problem with LaTex Auxiliary Format For List Of Tables is that LOT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file LOT 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 LOT 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 LaTeX
The first step is to check if the computer has the LaTeX program installed. This can be achieved by typing LaTeX into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LOT with LaTeX. Below is a list of programs that support the file LOT.
Programs to open LOT file
Remember to download programs supporting LOT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LaTeX with LOT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LOT file still does not use the LaTeX program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LaTeX application as the default for handling the LOT file.
Step 3. Update LaTeX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the LaTeX program with the LaTex Auxiliary Format For List Of Tables file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the LaTeX Project Development Team website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LOT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LOT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LOT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected LOT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LOT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 option of recovering data from damaged LOT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting LaTeX Project Development Team, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LOT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LOT to a different directory.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LOT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LOT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
