Troubleshoot WWD Files


Typical WWD Opening Challenges

Missing Microsoft Works

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open WWD Files" when trying to open your WWD. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Works for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the WWD file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


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


Wrong Version of Microsoft Works is Installed

Your Works Wizard File file is incompatible with Microsoft Works because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Works installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Works Wizard File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Works than what's installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your WWD, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Works version on your computer can cause problems opening WWD files.


Other WWD File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Works version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening WWD files. If you're still experiencing problems opening WWD files, there could be other computer problems. Additional factors include:

  • WWD file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the WWD file inside the Windows Registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the WWD format
  • WWD file corruption
  • Your WWD is infected with malware
  • Device drivers for WWD-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Works Wizard File file successfully
