How to open TMV file?

The most common problem when using TextMaker Template is that a specific TMV is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TMV 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 TMV 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 SoftMaker Office

The first step is to check if the computer has the SoftMaker Office program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SoftMaker Office 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 TMV files.

Step 2. Create association of SoftMaker Office with TMV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TMV file to open in the SoftMaker 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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 TMV file with the SoftMaker Office program.

Step 3. Update SoftMaker Office to the latest version

If, however, after binding SoftMaker Office with TextMaker Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the SoftMaker Software GmbH website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMV file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TMV file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TMV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TMV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TMV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TMV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SoftMaker Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TMV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TMV file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TMV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TMV file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
