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

| Find Fast Indexer Index Format | Microsoft | Misc Files |
The FFX file extension is used to identify Find Fast Indexer files. The FFX file type is associated with the Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It is created when a user opens an office document, and can be found in the same folder as the document itself.
FFX files contain index data which allows Office programs to find content in documents quickly and efficiently. When an Office program tries to open a file, it will use the FFX file data to locate items faster. Microsoft creates a new FFX file every time a new document is opened, so updates of index data occur frequently. The FFX index file size varies depending on the amount of text included in the document.
Compatibility and Similar File Types
The FFX file type works exclusively with Microsoft Office applications. For other programs or platforms, such as Google Docs or Apple Pages, different indexer files are used. Commonly associated indexer file types are .INDD, FTI, and .NRG. These support other software such as Adobe InDesign and PageMaker as well as Nero Burning ROM.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FFX) 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 .FFX 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 .FFX 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 .FFX 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 .FFX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FFX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FFX 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 .FFX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FFX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FFX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
