Typical WP Opening Challenges

Corel WordPerfect X8 is Not Installed

When trying to open your WP file, you get the error "Can't Open WP File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Corel WordPerfect X8 for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your WP file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


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


Corel WordPerfect X8 Requires Update

Your WordPerfect Document file is incompatible with Corel WordPerfect X8 because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Corel WordPerfect X8 version from the Corel website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your WordPerfect Document file was created by a newer version of Corel WordPerfect X8 than you have on your PC.


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


Conclusion: The majority of WP file opening issues are due to not having the correct Corel WordPerfect X8 version installed.
