XLT File Complications


Frequent XLT Opening Issues

Microsoft Excel Not Present

When trying to open your XLT file, you get the error "Can't Open XLT File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Excel missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your XLT with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your XLT, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Excel

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Excel Template File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest Microsoft Excel version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Excel Template File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Excel than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your XLT file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


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