The Apache OpenOffice application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Apache Software Foundation.
How to open XHP file?
An often recurring problem with OpenOffice.org Extension Help Format is that XHP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XHP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XHP 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 Apache OpenOffice
In this case, you should first verify that the Apache OpenOffice application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Apache OpenOffice in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XHP files.
Programs to open XHP file
Remember to download programs supporting XHP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apache OpenOffice with XHP files
If, despite the installed application, the XHP file does not start in the Apache OpenOffice application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Apache OpenOffice application as the default for handling the XHP file.
Step 3. Update Apache OpenOffice to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Apache OpenOffice program with the OpenOffice.org Extension Help Format 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 Apache Software Foundation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XHP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The XHP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XHP 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XHP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XHP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XHP files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XHP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact OpenOffice.org Project Team
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XHP 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 XHP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XHP to close. However, some background programs may block the XHP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
