.or3 File Extension

Developer: IBM

File type: IBM Lotus Organizer 97 File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .or3. Files with the file extension .or3 can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .or3 files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .or3 file?

The .or3 file extension is used by files created using the Lotus Organizer 97 software. This software which was developed by IBM is known as personal information software because it is used to organize user’s information. Users can use the software to create information about them, their to-do lists, tasks, events and other data that users want to record. In other words, the software is a good replacement for notebook organizers as electronic organizers are no doubt more convenient than actual notebooks. This helps a lot of users organize not only personal information but also business information. Now, the files that are created using the software are saved into the .or3 format no matter what the saved file contains. The .or3 files can be opened using the IBM Lotus Organizer 97 but other applications can also be used to open these files such as Lotus SmartSuite, as well as .or3 file editors and converters.

how to open a .or3 file?

Launch a .or3 file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .or3 file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .or3 files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .or3 file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .or3 file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .or3 files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .or3. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
