Programs to open XLC3 file
Remember to download programs supporting XLC3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLC3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLC3 file still does not use the Microsoft Excel 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XLC3 file with the Microsoft Excel application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Excel to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Excel program with the Microsoft Excel 3 For Mac Chart 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLC3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The XLC3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XLC3 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLC3 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XLC3 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XLC3 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XLC3 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XLC3 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XLC3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XLC3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLC3 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
