How to open SVD file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Word Document Autosave Format is that SVD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SVD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SVD 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 Microsoft Word
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Word application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Word 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 SVD with Microsoft Word. Below is a list of programs that support the file SVD.
Programs to open SVD file
Remember to download programs supporting SVD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with SVD files
If, despite the installed application, the SVD file does not start in the Microsoft Word application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 SVD file with the Microsoft Word program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Word program with the Microsoft Word Document Autosave Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SVD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SVD file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SVD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SVD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SVD 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SVD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SVD 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. If possible, you can try to move the SVD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SVD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
