How to open XLPF file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Excel For Mac Setting is that XLPF is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XLPF 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 XLPF 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 Excel
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Excel application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Excel into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XLPF with Microsoft Excel. Below is a list of programs that support the file XLPF.
Programs to open XLPF file
Remember to download programs supporting XLPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLPF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLPF 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XLPF file with the Microsoft Excel program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Excel to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Excel with Microsoft Excel For Mac Setting there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 XLPF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The XLPF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XLPF 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLPF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLPF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XLPF 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLPF file corruption. 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 XLPF 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move XLPF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XLPF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
