How to open WEB file?
The most common problem when using Xara Web Document is that a specific WEB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that WEB 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 WEB 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 Xara Designer Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Xara Designer Pro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Xara Designer Pro 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 WEB files.
Programs to open WEB file
Remember to download programs supporting WEB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Xara Designer Pro with WEB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WEB file to open in the Xara Designer Pro application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Xara Designer Pro application as the default for handling the WEB file.
Step 3. Update Xara Designer Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Xara Designer Pro program with the Xara Web Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WEB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The WEB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WEB file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WEB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WEB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WEB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WEB files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WEB 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WEB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WEB to close. 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.
