File extension .TPL
Full Name | Developer | Category |
---|---|---|
Generally A Template Format | N/A | Misc Files |
The file extension .TPL is used by Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP) to identify documents stored in its proprietary template format. It is primarily used to store one or multiple text documents, which can then be used for quick document editing and sharing. The extension allows users to store settings, styles, page setup, or macros related to the text documents.
Technical Details
The TPL file extension belongs to the text document template format developed by CCCP. A text document template generally consists of a data section followed by text sections that are UTF-8 encoded and include document properties, settings, template names, and macro code. In order to enable creation and editing of these files, a specialized program such as Notepad++ is required. Additionally, some other applications like Microsoft Word can also open TPL files directly.
Similar File Formats
There are several other similar file extensions such as .DOT, .DOTX, and .DOTM, which are used to format Microsoft word documents. Other extensions such as .OTT, .STW, and .VST also exist for formatting OpenOffice documents.
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 .TPL) 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 .TPL 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 .TPL 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 .TPL 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 .TPL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TPL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TPL 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 .TPL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TPL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TPL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
