The WRI file extension is a .WRI format developed for Microsoft Windows, primarily used with the software's text structure program, Windows Write. This type of file stores information related to the document's formatting, layout, text font, and page size. WRI files are able to contain both text and graphical elements, such as vector graphics or pictures. Though the purpose of this file type was mainly as an introductory Microsoft writing software, many users have appreciated WRI files for their convenience, allowing them to transport documents from one computer system to another.
Creation of WRI Files
Documents created by Windows Write, or acquired from other applications, can be saved in the WRI file format. Although this.WRI format has long been superseded by more advanced Microsoft text processing programs like WordPad, its compatibility with more basic Microsoft platforms still makes it a desirable choice. For different characteristics of a document, various types of WRI files may be generated. For example, with larger documents made up of multiple pages, a corresponding formatted WRI document will be created with numbered page headers.
Similar File Extensions
WRI files are comparable to other known Microsoft writing documents such as .RTF, .DOC, and .DOCX. All of these files are used to store characters and other elements but come with varying degrees of compatibility across different computing platforms. Unlike the other file formats mentioned above, however, WRI documents are not compatible with Apple Mac OS X.
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 .WRI) 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 .WRI 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 .WRI 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 .WRI 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 .WRI extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .WRI file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .WRI 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 .WRI file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .WRI file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .WRI file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
