How to open MES file?
The main problem with Corel WordPerfect Macro Editor Work Space is that the MES file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that MES files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MES 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
In this case, you should first verify that the WordPerfect Office application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office into the system search engine. 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 MES.
Programs to open MES file
Remember to download programs supporting MES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with MES files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MES file still does not use the WordPerfect Office program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MES file with the WordPerfect Office application.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WordPerfect Office program with the Corel WordPerfect Macro Editor Work Space file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 MES file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The MES file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MES files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MES file. However, remember that not every infected MES file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MES 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MES file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MES 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move MES to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MES file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
