How to open MPH file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Publisher is that a specific MPH is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MPH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MPH 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 Microsoft Publisher
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Publisher application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Publisher into the system search engine. 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 MPH files.
Programs to open MPH file
Remember to download programs supporting MPH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Publisher with MPH files
If, despite the installed application, the MPH file does not start in the Microsoft Publisher application, you must create a file association. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MPH file with the Microsoft Publisher application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Publisher to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Publisher with Microsoft Publisher there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MPH 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 MPH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MPH file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MPH file. However, remember that not every infected MPH 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 MPH files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MPH files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MPH 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MPH to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MPH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MPH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
