Troubles Opening STD Files
Missing Apache OpenOffice
If you attempt to load your STD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open STD Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Apache OpenOffice missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your STD with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your STD file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Obsolete Version of Apache OpenOffice
Your Apache OpenOffice Drawing Template file is incompatible with Apache OpenOffice because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Apache OpenOffice from Apache Software Foundation is recommended. Your Apache OpenOffice Drawing Template file was probably created by a newer release of Apache OpenOffice than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: If you right-click on your STD file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening STD files are due to having the incorrect version of Apache OpenOffice installed on your computer.
More Causes of Problems Opening STDs
Errors opening Apache OpenOffice Drawing 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 STDs. Problems unrelated to software:

- Apache OpenOffice or another STD application experienced a flawed installation
- Your STD can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- The STD is infected with a virus
