How to open QCT file?
An often recurring problem with QuarkXpress Article Template is that QCT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that QCT 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 QCT 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 QuarkXPress
In this case, you should first verify that the QuarkXPress application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name QuarkXPress in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file QCT.
Programs to open QCT file
Remember to download programs supporting QCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuarkXPress with QCT files
If, despite the installed application, the QCT file does not start in the QuarkXPress application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 QCT file with the QuarkXPress program.
Step 3. Update QuarkXPress to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuarkXPress with QuarkXpress Article Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Quark, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QCT 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 suggests truncating the QCT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our QCT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QCT 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 QCT files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair QCT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Quark, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QCT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the QCT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QCT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the QCT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
