How to open PPB file?

The main problem with Corel WordPerfect Print Preview Button Bar is that the PPB file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PPB, 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 PPB 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 WordPerfect Office

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WordPerfect Office is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office 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 PPB.

Programs to open PPB file

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

Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with PPB files

If, despite the installed application, the PPB file does not start in the WordPerfect Office application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PPB file with the WordPerfect Office program.

Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel WordPerfect Print Preview Button Bar requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PPB 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PPB file. However, remember that not every infected PPB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PPB file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PPB file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PPB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PPB file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PPB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
