Troubleshooting Problems Opening EWF Files
Common Problems Opening EWF Files
EpicWriter Removed
When you double-click your EWF file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have EpicWriter installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your EWF with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you don't have EpicWriter installed, and you know of another program to open your EWF file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Obsolete Version of EpicWriter
Sometimes your installed version of EpicWriter won't support your Trollzsoft EpicWriter File file. If you do not have the proper version EpicWriter (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This issue mainly occurs when your Trollzsoft EpicWriter File file was created by a newer version of EpicWriter than you have on your PC.
Tip: Right-clicking on your EWF, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Conclusion: The majority of EWF file opening issues are due to not having the correct EpicWriter version installed.
