OTS Troubleshooting


Frequent OTS Opening Issues

Missing Apache OpenOffice

When trying to open your OTS file, you get the error "Can't Open OTS File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Apache OpenOffice isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your OTS with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When another OTS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Obsolete Version of Apache OpenOffice

Your OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template file is incompatible with Apache OpenOffice because you might have the wrong version installed. If you do not have the proper version Apache OpenOffice (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. The primary cause of this problem is that your OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template file was created by a different (newer) version of Apache OpenOffice than what's installed.


Tip: Investigate your OTS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening OTS files are due to having the wrong version of Apache OpenOffice installed.


Additional OTS Opening Issues

Errors opening OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template files can still occur even with the latest Apache OpenOffice software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening OTSs. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry OTS file paths that are incorrect
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry OTS description
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the OTS format
  • Your OTS file is corrupted (issues with your OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template file itself)
  • Your OTS is infected with malware
  • OTS-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template file
