How to open XSSR file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft SharePoint WorkSpace Groove is that XSSR is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that XSSR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XSSR 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 we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XSSR with Microsoft Office. Below is a list of programs that support the file XSSR.
Programs to open XSSR file
Remember to download programs supporting XSSR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with XSSR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XSSR file still does not use the Microsoft Office 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XSSR 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 SharePoint WorkSpace Groove file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XSSR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The XSSR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XSSR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XSSR file. However, remember that not every infected XSSR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XSSR 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XSSR 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 XSSR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move XSSR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 XSSR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
