How to open WP7 file?
The most common problem when using WordPerfect 7 Document is that a specific WP7 is not associated with the program. This causes the file WP7 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WP7 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 WordPerfect Office
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WordPerfect Office is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect Office into the 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 WP7 files.
Programs to open WP7 file
Remember to download programs supporting WP7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with WP7 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WP7 file still does not use the WordPerfect Office program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WP7 file with the WordPerfect Office program.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding WordPerfect Office with WordPerfect 7 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 Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WP7 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The WP7 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WP7 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WP7 file. However, remember that not every infected WP7 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 WP7 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WP7 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WP7 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 WP7 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WP7 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WP7 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
