How to open WT4 file?
The main problem with Lotus 1-2-3 Worksheet Template Format is that the WT4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WT4, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WT4 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Lotus 1-2-3 program installed. To do this, enter the name Lotus 1-2-3 into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support WT4 files.
Programs to open WT4 file
Remember to download programs supporting WT4 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 WT4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WT4 file to open in the Lotus 1-2-3 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Lotus 1-2-3 application as the default for handling the WT4 file.
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The fault may also lie with the Lotus 1-2-3 program, it is possible that Lotus 1-2-3 Worksheet Template Format requires a newer version of the program.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 WT4 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WT4 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WT4 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WT4 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WT4 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 ability to automatically repair WT4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WT4 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 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. It is best to move WT4 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WT4 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WT4 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
