Troubleshoot IX Files

Common IX Opening Problems

Corel WordPerfect Not Present

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open IX Files" when trying to open your IX. Usually, this is because you do not have Corel WordPerfect for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your IX with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your IX, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Obsolete Version of Corel WordPerfect

Sometimes your installed version of Corel WordPerfect won't support your Corel WordPerfect Office Template File file. You will need to download a newer version of Corel WordPerfect if you don't have the right version. Your Corel WordPerfect Office Template File file was probably created by a newer release of Corel WordPerfect than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your IX file and clicking "Properties".

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening IX files are due to having the wrong version of Corel WordPerfect installed.
