How to open WPJ file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Works Wizard is that a specific WPJ is not associated with the program. This causes the file WPJ 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 WPJ 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 Works
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Works program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Works into the operating 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 WPJ files.
Programs to open WPJ file
Remember to download programs supporting WPJ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Works with WPJ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WPJ file still does not use the Microsoft Works program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WPJ file with the Microsoft Works application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Works to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Works with Microsoft Works Wizard there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WPJ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WPJ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WPJ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WPJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WPJ files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WPJ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WPJ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WPJ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WPJ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WPJ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
