How to open WDBN file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft World For Mac Document is that a specific WDBN is not associated with the program. This causes the file WDBN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WDBN 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Word is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Word into the system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with WDBN files
If, despite the installed application, the WDBN file does not start in the Microsoft Word application, you must create a file association. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Word application as the default for handling the WDBN file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Word with Microsoft World For Mac Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WDBN 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 WDBN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WDBN file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WDBN file. However, remember that not every infected WDBN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WDBN files changes over time. 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 WDBN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WDBN 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WDBN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 WDBN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WDBN file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
