How to open YG3 file?
The most common problem when using Corel Paradox Secondary Index is that a specific YG3 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open YG3, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YG3 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 WordPerfect Office
In this case, you should first verify that the WordPerfect Office application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WordPerfect 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 YG3 with WordPerfect Office. Below is a list of programs that support the file YG3.

Remember to download programs supporting YG3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WordPerfect Office with YG3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the YG3 file to open in the WordPerfect 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 YG3 file with the WordPerfect Office program.
Step 3. Update WordPerfect Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WordPerfect Office program with the Corel Paradox Secondary Index file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YG3 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the YG3 file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our YG3 file. Sometimes virus-infected YG3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YG3 files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
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 option of recovering data from damaged YG3 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Corel Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file YG3 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the YG3 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the YG3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YG3 file again. However, some background programs may block the YG3 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
