Programs to open ZRTF file
Remember to download programs supporting ZRTF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Nisus Writer Pro with ZRTF files
If, despite the installed application, the ZRTF file does not start in the Nisus Writer Pro application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZRTF 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 ZRTF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ZRTF file. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZRTF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ZRTF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZRTF file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 ZRTF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Nisus Software, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ZRTF 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ZRTF file to another location.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZRTF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZRTF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
