The SOB ( .sob) file extension is a binary object file typically associated with OpenOffice.org Impress. It is a linkable library created by the integrated development environment (IDE) to store user-defined shapes, styles, and formatting options and can be used to customize presentations. Presentations created using OpenOffice.org Impress contain graphics, titles, content, and animations. SOB files allow users to quickly access saved graphic elements such as borders, slide backgrounds, fonts, colors, and effects.
How SOB Files are Used:
SOB files are built up from multiple components that can be used to your advantage when working in OpenOffice.org Impress. These components include color sets, line styles, fills clusters, line clusters, fill details, graphics options, slide masters, text frames, transparency options and various other elements. If you have worked on the same presentation multiple times, you may notice that it wastes a lot of time creating new design elements for each slide rather than using the existing ones. This is where SOB files are extremely useful; users can store pre-created style sets as separate library objects which can then be added to other presentations with just a few mouse clicks.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SOB) 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 .SOB 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 .SOB 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 .SOB 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 .SOB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SOB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SOB 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 .SOB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SOB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SOB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
