What is a SPD file?
Files with the .SPD extension contain data connected to custom user dialog windows – SPSS software interface components created by the user. The SPSS software is used for conducting statistical analyses, whereas SPD files allow statisticians to devise their own input forms for custom statistical functions.
SPD files are created with a tool built into the Custom Dialog Builder software which can be found in the program menu. The tool window displays a preview of the created dialog window, as well as an input form for defining its target localization. Before the tool is executed in the SPSS software it must be installed, also using the Custom Dialog Builder app tool menu, specifically the File – Install option.

How to open SPD files
If you cannot open the SPD 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 SPD 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 SPD file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the SPD format files
The inability to open and operate the SPD 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 Bitstream Speedo Scalable Font file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a SPD file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the SPD file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the SPD from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the SPD format
- The SPD 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 SPD file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a SPD file are out of date.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 SPD file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the SPD file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the SPD 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.SPD) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected SPD 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 SPD 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. SPD) 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.
