Step 1. Install Lotus 1-2-3
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Lotus 1-2-3 is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Lotus 1-2-3 into the system search engine.

Programs to open WJ3 file
Remember to download programs supporting WJ3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lotus 1-2-3 with WJ3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WJ3 file still does not use the Lotus 1-2-3 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WJ3 file with the Lotus 1-2-3 application.
Step 3. Update Lotus 1-2-3 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Lotus 1-2-3 program, it is possible that Lotus 1-2-3 Worksheet Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WJ3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WJ3 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WJ3 file. Sometimes virus-infected WJ3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WJ3 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WJ3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WJ3 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WJ3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WJ3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WJ3 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
