Troubleshoot WZS Files


Frequent WZS Opening Issues

Missing Microsoft Office

When you double-click your WZS file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Office missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the WZS file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens WZS files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Office

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Office isn't able to open your Microsoft Word Wizard file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Office if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Microsoft Word Wizard file was created by a newer Microsoft Office than what you have installed.


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


Conclusion: The majority of WZS file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Office version installed.


Other WZS File Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Office will resolve your issue. If you're still experiencing problems opening WZS files, there could be other computer problems. These issues include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for WZS
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry WZS description
  • Microsoft Office or another WZS application experienced a flawed installation
  • Your WZS file is corrupted (issues with your Microsoft Word Wizard file itself)
  • Your WZS has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware associated with WZS has outdated drivers
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open Microsoft Word Wizard files
