How to open MWII file?
The most common problem when using MacWrite II Text Document is that a specific MWII is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MWII, 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 MWII 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 MacWrite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MacWrite is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MacWrite 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 MWII files.
Programs to open MWII file
Remember to download programs supporting MWII files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MacWrite with MWII files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MWII file still does not use the MacWrite program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 MWII file with the MacWrite application.
Step 3. Update MacWrite to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MacWrite program, it is possible that MacWrite II Text Document requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MWII 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MWII file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MWII file. Sometimes virus-infected MWII files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MWII 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MWII file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MWII 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MWII to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MWII file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MWII file again. 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.
