What is STD file?

The STD file has been categorized as Vector Image Files. The creator of this file is Oracle. Additionally, the Vector Image Files category contains 138 of other files. Apache OpenOffice Drawing Template is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Apache OpenOffice. This was created by Apache Software Foundation. There are also 6 alternative programs to handle the STD file. The LibreOffice, NeoOffice programs will also handle the file when the Apache OpenOffice program does not fulfill its role.

How to open STD file?

An often recurring problem with Apache OpenOffice Drawing Template is that STD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that STD 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 STD 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Apache OpenOffice application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apache OpenOffice in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file STD with Apache OpenOffice. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open STD files.

Step 2. Create association of Apache OpenOffice with STD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STD file to open in the Apache OpenOffice application, but you can set it manually. 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the STD file with the Apache OpenOffice application.

Step 3. Update Apache OpenOffice to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Apache OpenOffice program with the Apache OpenOffice Drawing Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apache Software Foundation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STD 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 STD file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 STD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected STD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of STD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair STD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the STD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the STD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
