The .ORI file extension is associated with multiple types of files, such as Mac OS document files, Oracle report output files, and IBM print files. The files with this extension are created and used by various software programs, the most notable of which being Apple’s MacWrite text editor, Oracle’s Discoverer Report Output, and IBM’s Print Installer program.
Where Does the ORI File Extension Come From?
The exact origin of the .ORI file extension is somewhat unclear. It is primarily used by Apple MacWrite for its native document file format, though some Oracle and IBM software programs employ it as well. In cases of Oracle software, the file may contain report output data that was created in the Oracle Discoverer Viewer / Report Installer program. Files created with the IBM Print Installer program will contain information about printers, printer drivers, and possibly associated network information.
Similar file extensions include TXT,.DOC,.XLS and other maker-specific format extensions.
How Can I Open an ORI File?
Since the exact origin and use of the .ORI file extension can vary from program to program, it’s best to contact the developer of the software you are using to determine the correct program to open or save the file. In some cases, you may need to use a specific application that created the file in order to open them. For instance, if you have a.ORI file created with Apple’s MacWrite text editor application, then you will need to use either that program or an alternative Mac-compatible text editor to open the file.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ORI) 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 .ORI 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 .ORI 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 .ORI 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 .ORI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ORI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ORI 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 .ORI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ORI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ORI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
