What is WR1 file?
The WR1 file has been categorized as Spreadsheet Files. The creator of this file is IBM. In addition to this file, the Spreadsheet Files category includes 100 related files. Lotus Symphony Spreadsheet appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use IBM Lotus Symphony to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open WR1 file?
An often recurring problem with Lotus Symphony Spreadsheet is that WR1 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WR1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WR1 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 IBM Lotus Symphony
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IBM Lotus Symphony is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IBM Lotus Symphony into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WR1 with IBM Lotus Symphony. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WR1 files.
Programs to open WR1 file
Remember to download programs supporting WR1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Lotus Symphony with WR1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WR1 file still does not use the IBM Lotus Symphony program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WR1 file with the IBM Lotus Symphony application.
Step 3. Update IBM Lotus Symphony to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IBM Lotus Symphony program with the Lotus Symphony Spreadsheet file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 WR1 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WR1 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WR1 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WR1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WR1 file. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WR1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WR1 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WR1 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WR1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WR1 file again. However, some background programs may block the WR1 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
