What is a TEXTCLIPPING file?
Files with the .TEXTCLIPPING extension contain formatted text created using the “drag and drop” method in Mac OS X.
The files can be created by dragging and dropping a selected piece of text onto the desktop; the text retains the formatting, font styles, tables, numeration, and punctuation. The file name is created using the first couple of characters of the text. The text can be viewed by double-clicking its icon. The action can also be somewhat reversed by dragging the text into a text file – this way, the contents of a TEXTCLIPPING file can be easily inserted into a full document. This method is used as an alternative to the “copy-paste” method, usually when searching for information online or in other files.

How to open TEXTCLIPPING files
If you cannot open the TEXTCLIPPING file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports TEXTCLIPPING among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the TEXTCLIPPING file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the TEXTCLIPPING format files
The inability to open and operate the TEXTCLIPPING file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Mac OS X Text Clipping Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a TEXTCLIPPING file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the TEXTCLIPPING file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the TEXTCLIPPING from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the TEXTCLIPPING format
- The TEXTCLIPPING file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the TEXTCLIPPING file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a TEXTCLIPPING file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the TEXTCLIPPING file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the TEXTCLIPPING file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the TEXTCLIPPING file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.TEXTCLIPPING) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected TEXTCLIPPING file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the TEXTCLIPPING file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. TEXTCLIPPING) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
