The .OFT file extension is associated with Microsoft Outlook, a personal information manager from Microsoft. Originally an email application, it has now evolved into a full-featured personal information manager that includes tasks, contacts, calendar, notes, journal and web browsing.
What is.OFT
.OFT is an Outlook File Template, which stores all elements of an email message such as text, images and attachments which can then be used for new messages. It stores the most recent email messages including formatting, logos, signatures and stationary. It is commonly used by individuals and businesses who send a lot of emails using the same content but with different recipients. Comparing to other similar types of files like .MSG, .EML, and .OST,.OFT can store files much larger than these other extensions.
.OFT in Microsoft Outlook
.OFT files are often used in corporate environments to ensure that all employees are sending emails with the same design, logo, and content. In Microsoft Outlook, users can send more than one recipient the same content quickly without losing quality or formatting in the message as the.OFT preserves these components of the email message. A user simply has to create the template once and save it in the.OFT format. The template can then be opened and edited any time it needs to be change.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .OFT) 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 .OFT 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 .OFT 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 .OFT 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 .OFT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .OFT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .OFT 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 .OFT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .OFT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .OFT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
