How to open WPD1 file?
An often recurring problem with Corel WordPerfect 1 For Mac Document is that WPD1 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open WPD1, 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 WPD1 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

Programs to open WPD1 file
Remember to download programs supporting WPD1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with WPD1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WPD1 file to open in the WordPerfect Office application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WordPerfect Office application as the default for handling the WPD1 file.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WordPerfect Office program, it is possible that Corel WordPerfect 1 For Mac Document requires a newer version of the program. 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 WPD1 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WPD1 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 WPD1 file. However, remember that not every infected WPD1 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 WPD1 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WPD1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WPD1 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WPD1 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WPD1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
