Understanding WWK Issues


Common Problems Opening WWK Files

Corel WordPerfect is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open WWK Files" when trying to open your WWK. When this happens, it is commonly due to Corel WordPerfect 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: When another WWK application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Wrong Version of Corel WordPerfect is Installed

Your Corel WordPerfect Keyboard Layout File file is incompatible with Corel WordPerfect because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Corel website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Corel WordPerfect. 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: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your WWK file and clicking "Properties".


Summary: Not having the right Corel WordPerfect version on your computer can cause problems opening WWK files.


Other WWK File Opening Causes

Even with the correct version of Corel WordPerfect installed, you can still experience difficulties opening WWKs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening WWKs. Additional factors include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for WWK
  • Corruption of the WWK file description inside the Registry
  • Invalid installation of a WWK-associated program (eg. Corel WordPerfect)
  • Your WWK can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Your WWK is infected with malware
  • Hardware associated with WWK has outdated drivers
