How to open WLL file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Word Add-in is that a specific WLL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WLL, 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 WLL 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Word application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Word into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support WLL files.
Programs to open WLL file
Remember to download programs supporting WLL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with WLL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WLL file still does not use the Microsoft Word 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WLL file with the Microsoft Word application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Word with Microsoft Word Add-in 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 WLL 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WLL file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WLL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WLL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WLL 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WLL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WLL 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WLL file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WLL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
