How to open WDGP file?
An often recurring problem with Word For Mac Add-in is that WDGP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WDGP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WDGP 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

Programs to open WDGP file
Remember to download programs supporting WDGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with WDGP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WDGP file to open in the Microsoft Word 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Word application as the default for handling the WDGP file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Word program with the Word For Mac Add-in 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WDGP 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:
The WDGP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WDGP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WDGP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WDGP 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 WDGP file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WDGP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WDGP 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. Copying the WDGP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WDGP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WDGP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
