Understanding WCM Issues


Frequent WCM Opening Issues

Missing Corel WordPerfect X8

If you attempt to load your WCM file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open WCM Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Corel WordPerfect X8 missing in %%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 WCM file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Corel WordPerfect X8 Requires Update

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a WordPerfect Macro file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Corel WordPerfect X8 from Corel is recommended. Your WordPerfect Macro file was probably created by a newer release of Corel WordPerfect X8 than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the WCM file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening WCM files are due to having the wrong version of Corel WordPerfect X8 installed.
