Troubleshooting Problems Opening STI Files


Common Problems Opening STI Files

Apache OpenOffice Isn't There

If you attempt to load your STI file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open STI Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Apache OpenOffice isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your STI with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: Another STI-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Apache OpenOffice Requires Update

In other instances, your StarOffice Presentation Template file version may not be supported by your version of Apache OpenOffice. Installing the latest version of Apache OpenOffice from Apache Software Foundation is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a StarOffice Presentation Template file version that was created by a newer version of Apache OpenOffice than what you have installed on your PC.


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


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


Other STI File Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Apache OpenOffice will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening STI files. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for STI
  • Deletion of the STI file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Partial installation of Apache OpenOffice that did not fully complete
  • The STI itself is corrupted
  • STI file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • STI-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the StarOffice Presentation Template format
