What is OTP file?

The file with the extension OTP is the Data Files file type. The creator of this file is OASIS. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. OpenDocument Presentation Template is supported by 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. The Apache OpenOffice application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Apache Software Foundation. Alternatively, you can use 6 other programs. You can use LibreOffice, NeoOffice in case Apache OpenOffice cannot be used.

How to open OTP file?

The most common problem when using OpenDocument Presentation Template is that a specific OTP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open OTP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OTP 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 Apache OpenOffice

The first step is to check if the computer has the Apache OpenOffice program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apache OpenOffice in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OTP files.

Step 2. Create association of Apache OpenOffice with OTP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OTP file still does not use the Apache OpenOffice program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 OTP file with the Apache OpenOffice application.

Step 3. Update Apache OpenOffice to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Apache OpenOffice program with the OpenDocument Presentation Template 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 Apache Software Foundation website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The OTP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OTP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OTP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected OTP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of OTP 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OTP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use OASIS help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OTP 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. Copying the OTP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the OTP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OTP to close. 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.
