How to open SOG file?
The most common problem when using Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) Colour Palettes Format is that a specific SOG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SOG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SOG 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 Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org)
The first step is to check if the computer has the Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) in it. 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 SOG files.
Programs to open SOG file
Remember to download programs supporting SOG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) with SOG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SOG file to open in the Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) application as the default for handling the SOG file.
Step 3. Update Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) program with the Apache OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org) Colour Palettes Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the OpenOffice.org Project Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SOG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SOG file. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SOG file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SOG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SOG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SOG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SOG 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 SOG file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SOG file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
