The WP file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WP file on each system platform.
What is WP file?
The WP file has been categorized as Text Files. The author of this format is Corel. Text Files consists of 440 similar files. WordPerfect Document appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. The NeoOffice application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Planamesa Inc.. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the WP file. AbiWord, WordPerfect Office will apply when it is not possible to use NeoOffice.
How to open WP file?
The main problem with WordPerfect Document is that the WP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WP 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 NeoOffice
In this case, you should first verify that the NeoOffice application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NeoOffice into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WP files.
Programs to open WP file
Remember to download programs supporting WP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NeoOffice with WP files
If, despite the installed application, the WP file does not start in the NeoOffice application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 NeoOffice application as the default for handling the WP file.
Step 3. Update NeoOffice to the latest version
If, however, after binding NeoOffice with WordPerfect 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 Planamesa Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WP 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 WP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WP 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 WP 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WP 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the WP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
