Programs to open WPD3 file
Remember to download programs supporting WPD3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with WPD3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WPD3 file to open in the WordPerfect Office application, but you can set it manually. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WPD3 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:
The WPD3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WPD3 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WPD3 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WPD3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WPD3 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 WPD3 files. 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 WPD3 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move WPD3 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WPD3 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
