The Quick Way to Open Files with TEXT Extension

Different software packages use different file extensions, so if you can't open the TEXT file, it could be because:

  • You don't have the associated software on your computer (ASCII Text and yBook Text File are the most popular software packages that use TEXT file).

  • You may have ASCII Text or yBook Text File but your computer is not configured to associate TEXT files with the relevant software.

  • The file is corrupt.

If You Don't Have ASCII Text or yBook Text File

In order to open your TEXT file, you will have to download ASCII Text, yBook Text File, or another similar software package.

If Your Computer is Not Configured to Open TEXT Files

If you have the relevant software, but your computer still won't open the software, you will have to change the file associations on Windows or Mac. Depending on your operating system, you can ensure that your computer always open TEXT files using ASCII Text, yBook Text File, or another program of your choice that uses TEXT files.

If that still doesn't work, you can get in touch with your software developer to find out what you can do. You can contact any of these developers for more information or assistance:
