How to open QPW file?
An often recurring problem with Quattro Pro Spreadsheet is that QPW is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open QPW, 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 QPW 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the WordPerfect Office program installed. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file QPW with WordPerfect Office. Below you will find a list of applications that support QPW files.
Programs to open QPW file
Remember to download programs supporting QPW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with QPW files
If, despite the installed application, the QPW file does not start in the WordPerfect Office 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the QPW file.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with Quattro Pro Spreadsheet there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 QPW 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 QPW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to QPW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 QPW file. Sometimes virus-infected QPW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the QPW files changes over time. 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 QPW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QPW 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the QPW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QPW 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.
