Common LAB Opening Problems

Corel WordPerfect Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open LAB Files" when trying to open your LAB. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Corel WordPerfect for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


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


Corel WordPerfect Requires Update

It is possible that your version of Corel WordPerfect isn't able to open your WordPerfect Label Definition File file due to incompatibility. If you do not have the proper version Corel WordPerfect (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. Your WordPerfect Label Definition File file was probably created by a newer release of Corel WordPerfect than what's currently installed your computer.


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


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening LAB files are due to having the wrong version of Corel WordPerfect installed.
