The WR! file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WR! files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WR! file on each system platform.
What is WR! file?
The WR! file has been categorized as Spreadsheet Files. The author of this format is IBM. Spreadsheet Files consists of 100 similar files. Compressed Lotus Spreadsheet is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Lotus 1-2-3 to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open WR! file?
The most common problem when using Compressed Lotus Spreadsheet is that a specific WR! is not associated with the program. This causes the file WR! to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WR! 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 Lotus 1-2-3
In this case, you should first verify that the Lotus 1-2-3 application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Lotus 1-2-3 in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WR! with Lotus 1-2-3. Below is a list of programs that support the file WR!.
Programs to open WR! file
Remember to download programs supporting WR! files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lotus 1-2-3 with WR! files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WR! file still does not use the Lotus 1-2-3 program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WR! file with the Lotus 1-2-3 program.
Step 3. Update Lotus 1-2-3 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Lotus 1-2-3 program, it is possible that Compressed Lotus Spreadsheet requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WR! 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 suggests truncating the WR! file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WR! file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WR! files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WR! file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WR! file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WR! 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 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 WR! to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WR! file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
