How to open WPRD file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Word For Mac Print is that WPRD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file WPRD 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 WPRD 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 Word
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Word application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Word into the operating 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 WPRD files.
Programs to open WPRD file
Remember to download programs supporting WPRD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with WPRD files
If, despite the installed application, the WPRD file does not start in the Microsoft Word 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Word application as the default for handling the WPRD file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Word with Microsoft Word For Mac Print 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WPRD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WPRD file contents when downloading or copying. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WPRD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WPRD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WPRD file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 WPRD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WPRD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move WPRD to a different directory.
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 WPRD file again. However, some background programs may block the WPRD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
