BAU File Complications


Troubles Opening BAU Files

Apache OpenOffice Disappeared

If you attempt to load your BAU file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open BAU Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Apache OpenOffice 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: Another BAU-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Obsolete Version of Apache OpenOffice

Your Apache OpenOffice AutoText File file is incompatible with Apache OpenOffice because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Apache OpenOffice version from the Apache Software Foundation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


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


Summary: Not having the right Apache OpenOffice version on your computer can cause problems opening BAU files.


Other Causes of BAU File Opening Problems

Although you might already have Apache OpenOffice or another BAU-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Apache OpenOffice AutoText File files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading BAU files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

  • Invalid BAU file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the BAU file in the Windows registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the BAU format
  • The BAU itself is corrupted
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your BAU
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your BAU file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Apache OpenOffice AutoText File file
