File extension .CON
| Full Name | Developer | Category |

| Corel WordPerfect Concordance Format | Corel Corporation | Misc Files |
The .CON file extension is associated with Corel WordPerfect Office. It stands for the Concordance File, which stores an index of text words used in a Corel WordPerfect document. This index is generated automatically by Corel WordPerfect and is used to locate searched words quickly when needed. The CON file contains a series of data records containing a single word from the corresponding document. It also includes information about how many times the word repeats and its location in the document. The records are sorted alphabetically, helping the document search task to be completed faster.
Usage of CON files
The usage of .CON files is mainly related to Corel WordPerfect Office productivity suite. It enables users to build a list of words contained within their documents thus speeding up the search process. Furthermore, if a document is password-protected, editing the .CON file can reveal whatever text it contains. Other indexing files such as .DCX, .AIX, .IND, and .FND are similar to .CON. In addition, the software application used to generate the index can be used to quickly search for similar words or phrases contained within a document.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CON) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CON extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CON file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CON extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CON extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CON file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CON file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CON file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CON file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CON file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
