WWL File Complications

Typical WWL Opening Challenges

Microsoft Word is Not Installed

Double-clicking your WWL file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open WWL File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Word isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the WWL file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: Another WWL-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Wrong Version of Microsoft Word is Installed

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Word isn't able to open your Microsoft Word Add-in File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Word if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Microsoft Word Add-in File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Word than what's installed.

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

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