How to open NIV file?
The most common problem when using TheWord New International Version Module Format is that a specific NIV is not associated with the program. This causes the file NIV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NIV 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 theWord
In this case, you should first verify that the theWord application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing theWord into the operating 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 NIV.
Programs to open NIV file
Remember to download programs supporting NIV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of theWord with NIV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NIV file still does not use the theWord program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 theWord application as the default for handling the NIV file.
Step 3. Update theWord to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the theWord program, it is possible that TheWord New International Version Module Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Costas Stergiou page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NIV 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NIV file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NIV or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NIV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NIV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NIV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NIV 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NIV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NIV file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
