The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WQ! 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 Corel Quattro Pro

Remember to download programs supporting WQ! files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Corel Quattro Pro with WQ! files
If, despite the installed application, the WQ! file does not start in the Corel Quattro Pro application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 WQ! file with the Corel Quattro Pro program.
Step 3. Update Corel Quattro Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Corel Quattro Pro program with the Corel Quattro Pro Compressed Spreadsheet file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Corel Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WQ! file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to WQ! files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WQ! or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WQ! file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WQ! file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WQ! file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WQ! 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the WQ! 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 WQ! file again. However, some background programs may block the WQ! file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
