File Association
TIF/ TIFF Association
Frequently during maintenance and or system updates the TIF/ TIFF association has been required to be reset. The majority of Besser users needing this fix are in association with the use of the AutoPrint Drawing view for the Alpena Operation drawings.
1. Go to Programs – Windows Explorer (Can be found under Accessories)
2. Click on “Tools” – “Folder Options”.
3. Click the “File Types” tab.
4. Scroll in Registered File Types to TIF or Click “New” and type TIF in the box and click “OK”. Do the same procedure for TIFF.
5. Scroll in the “Registered File Type” box and find the TIF file. Highlight it and click “Change”. Make sure the ‘Microsoft Office Document Imaging” is selected and click “OK”. Do the same procedure with the TIFF file.
This process will reinstate the appropriate file association with those two files.
