Programs to open WSET file
Remember to download programs supporting WSET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Word with WSET files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WSET file to open in the Microsoft Word application, but you can set it manually. 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 WSET file with the Microsoft Word application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Word to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Word with Microsoft Word For Mac Settings there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WSET 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WSET file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 WSET file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected WSET file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WSET file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WSET file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WSET files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 WSET to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WSET file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WSET to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WSET file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
