How to open WZS file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Word Wizard is that a specific WZS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that WZS 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 WZS 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 Microsoft Office
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Office application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Office into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file WZS.
Programs to open WZS file
Remember to download programs supporting WZS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with WZS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WZS file to open in the Microsoft Office application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 WZS file with the Microsoft Office application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Office program with the Microsoft Word Wizard file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WZS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WZS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WZS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WZS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WZS 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WZS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WZS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WZS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WZS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WZS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WZS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
