What is SWSS file?
The file in the SWSS format belongs to the Spreadsheet Files category. It was designed by Apple, Inc.. Additionally, the Spreadsheet Files category contains 100 of other files. ClarisWork Spreadsheet is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Mac OS, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is ClarisWorks. This was created by Apple, Inc..
How to open SWSS file?
The main problem with ClarisWork Spreadsheet is that the SWSS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SWSS 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 SWSS 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 ClarisWorks
In this case, you should first verify that the ClarisWorks application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ClarisWorks in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SWSS files.
Programs to open SWSS file
Remember to download programs supporting SWSS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ClarisWorks with SWSS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SWSS file to open in the ClarisWorks 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SWSS file with the ClarisWorks program.
Step 3. Update ClarisWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ClarisWorks program with the ClarisWork Spreadsheet 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 Apple, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SWSS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The SWSS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SWSS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SWSS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SWSS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SWSS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SWSS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, Inc., 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 SWSS 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SWSS to a different directory.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SWSS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
