LWP File Complications

Frequent LWP Opening Issues

IBM Lotus Word Pro Disappeared

If you attempt to load your LWP file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open LWP Files". Customarily, this means that IBM Lotus Word Pro is not installed on %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your LWP file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Obsolete Version of IBM Lotus Word Pro

Sometimes your installed version of IBM Lotus Word Pro won't support your Lotus Word Pro Document file. You will need to download a newer version of IBM Lotus Word Pro if you don't have the right version. This issue mainly occurs when your Lotus Word Pro Document file was created by a newer version of IBM Lotus Word Pro than you have on your PC.

Tip: If you right-click on your LWP file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of LWP file opening issues are due to not having the correct IBM Lotus Word Pro version installed.
