W61 File Complications


Troubles Opening W61 Files

Missing Corel WordPerfect

You attempt to load your W61 file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The W61 File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Corel WordPerfect for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your W61 with Corel WordPerfect, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens W61 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Incorrect Corel WordPerfect Version

In other instances, your Corel WordPerfect 6.1 Document file version may not be supported by your version of Corel WordPerfect. Download the latest Corel WordPerfect version from the Corel website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is predominately due to having a Corel WordPerfect 6.1 Document file version that was created by a newer version of Corel WordPerfect than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Investigate your W61 file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening W61 files are due to having the incorrect version of Corel WordPerfect installed on your computer.


Other W61 File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Corel WordPerfect will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading W61 files, other external issues might be to blame. Issues that aren't software-related:
