How to open VW file?
An often recurring problem with Volkswriter Text Format is that VW is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that VW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VW 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 WordPerfect Office
In this case, you should first verify that the WordPerfect Office application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WordPerfect Office into the operating system search engine. 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 VW files.
Programs to open VW file
Remember to download programs supporting VW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with VW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VW file to open in the WordPerfect Office 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VW file with the WordPerfect Office program.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Volkswriter Text Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The VW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VW file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. 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 VW file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VW 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VW file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Lifetree Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VW 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. If possible, you can try to move the VW file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VW to close. However, some background programs may block the VW file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
