How to open MELL file?
The main problem with Mellel Word Processing Format is that the MELL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MELL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MELL 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 Mellel
The first step is to check if the computer has the Mellel program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mellel in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MELL.
Programs to open MELL file
Remember to download programs supporting MELL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mellel with MELL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MELL file to open in the Mellel 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. 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 Mellel application as the default for handling the MELL file.
Step 3. Update Mellel to the latest version
If, however, after binding Mellel with Mellel Word Processing Format 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 RedleX website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MELL 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 MELL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MELL file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MELL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MELL 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 MELL 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MELL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use RedleX help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MELL 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.
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 MELL to a different directory.
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. However, some background programs may block the MELL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
