Troubles Opening HWL Files

Missing Corel WordPerfect X8

If you attempt to load your HWL file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open HWL Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Corel WordPerfect X8 for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your HWL because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Corel WordPerfect X8 is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Corel Writing Tools File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Corel WordPerfect X8 installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a Corel Writing Tools File file version that was created by a newer version of Corel WordPerfect X8 than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your HWL file and clicking "Properties".


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening HWL files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other Causes of HWL File Opening Problems

Even with the correct version of Corel WordPerfect X8 installed, you can still experience difficulties opening HWLs. If you're still experiencing problems opening HWL files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Windows Registry HWL file paths that are incorrect
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the HWL file in the Windows registry
  • Corel WordPerfect X8 or another HWL application experienced a flawed installation
  • HWL file corruption
  • Your HWL has adversely impacted by malware
  • HWL-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open Corel Writing Tools File files
