How to open ROA file?
The main problem with Remark Office OMR Archive Format is that the ROA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ROA 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 ROA 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 Remark Office OMR
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Remark Office OMR is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Remark Office OMR into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ROA with Remark Office OMR. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ROA files.
Programs to open ROA file
Remember to download programs supporting ROA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Remark Office OMR with ROA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ROA file to open in the Remark Office OMR application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 ROA file with the Remark Office OMR program.
Step 3. Update Remark Office OMR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Remark Office OMR program, it is possible that Remark Office OMR Archive Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Gravic website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ROA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The ROA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ROA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ROA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ROA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ROA 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ROA file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ROA 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the ROA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ROA 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 ROA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ROA file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
