How to open OT file?

The most common problem when using TheWord Old Testament Text Module is that a specific OT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that OT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OT 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the theWord program installed. To do this, enter the name theWord 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 OT.

Programs to open OT file

Remember to download programs supporting OT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of theWord with OT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OT 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the theWord application as the default for handling the OT file.

Step 3. Update theWord to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the theWord program, it is possible that TheWord Old Testament Text Module requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Costas Stergiou website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OT file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to OT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use theWord Bible Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move OT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OT 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 OT file again. 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.
