How to open S03 file?
An often recurring problem with Corel WordPerfect Distribution is that S03 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file S03 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the S03 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
In this case, you should first verify that the WordPerfect Office application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WordPerfect Office into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open S03 files.
Programs to open S03 file
Remember to download programs supporting S03 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with S03 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the S03 file to open in the WordPerfect Office application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 S03 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The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel WordPerfect Distribution requires a newer version of the program.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 S03 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The S03 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the S03 file contents when downloading or copying. 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 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file S03 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected S03 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the S03 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair S03 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted S03 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move S03 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file S03 to close. However, some background programs may block the S03 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
