How to open OTT file?
The main problem with OpenDocument Document Template is that the OTT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that OTT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OTT 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 OpenOffice.org Writer
The first step is to check if the computer has the OpenOffice.org Writer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name OpenOffice.org Writer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support OTT files.
Programs to open OTT file
Remember to download programs supporting OTT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OpenOffice.org Writer with OTT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OTT file still does not use the OpenOffice.org Writer 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OTT file with the OpenOffice.org Writer program.
Step 3. Update OpenOffice.org Writer to the latest version
If, however, after binding OpenOffice.org Writer with OpenDocument Document Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OTT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OTT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OTT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OTT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OTT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OTT file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OTT 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 OTT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OTT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OTT to close. However, some background programs may block the OTT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
