Troubleshooting Problems Opening LST Files

Troubles Opening LST Files

Missing LibreOffice

If you attempt to load your LST file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open LST Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have LibreOffice for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your LST with LibreOffice, so double-clicking the file won't work.

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

Outdated LibreOffice

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of LibreOffice installed that's incompatible with your Data List type. Download the latest LibreOffice version from the The Document Foundation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your Data List file was created by a newer version of LibreOffice than you have on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of LST file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Primarily, problems experienced when opening LST files are due to having the incorrect version of LibreOffice installed on your computer.

Other LST File Issues

Even with the correct version of LibreOffice installed, you can still experience difficulties opening LSTs. If you are still having problems opening LST files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Additional factors include:

• Invalid LST file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• Corruption of the LST file description inside the Registry
• Partial installation of LibreOffice that did not fully complete
• File corruption affecting your LST file
• Past or present virus infection has affected your LST
• Hardware related to LSTs has device driver corruption
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Data List format
