Open STC File

In the world of digital files, various formats and extensions exist for different purposes. One such file extension is the STC file, which has multiple applications depending on the software being used. In this article, we will explore possible formats and ways to open and use files with the STC file extension and understand the different uses of this versatile file type.

StarOffice Calc Spreadsheet Templates

Files with the STC extension are primarily associated with StarOffice Calc Spreadsheet Templates created by StarOffice, an open-source office suite developed by Sun Microsystems, which is now part of the Apache OpenOffice project. These templates are used to create spreadsheets with consistent formatting and design elements. To open and use STC files as spreadsheet templates, you can follow these steps:

Download and install the latest version of Apache OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
Launch the OpenOffice or LibreOffice software suite.
Choose "Open" from the "File" menu and navigate to the directory where the STC file is saved.
Select the STC file and click "Open."

Now the STC file is opened as a spreadsheet template in the Calc application, and you can proceed to edit and save it as a new ODS or XLS file.

Streets & Trips Map Templates

Another application of the STC file extension is in Streets & Trips, a discontinued mapping software from Microsoft. These files serve as map templates for the program, and can still be used if you have an older version of Streets & Trips software. To open and use STC files in Streets & Trips, follow these steps:

Install the Microsoft Streets & Trips software (if not already installed).
Launch Streets & Trips and click "File" followed by "Open."
Navigate to the location of your STC file.
Select your STC file and click "Open."

Your map template will now be loaded in Streets & Trips, and you can start using the software to plan trips, create routes, and locate points of interest.

Security Tool Command Files

Some STC files are used as Security Tool Command (STC) files in the IBM Tivoli Security Management program. This software ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability of IT resources with features like access control, data protection, and security event management. If you are using IBM Tivoli and need to open an STC file, follow these steps:

Install and configure the IBM Tivoli software (if not already installed).
Launch the IBM Tivoli Security Management program.
From the main interface, navigate to the menu and select "File" followed by "Open."
Choose your STC file and click "Open" to load it into the program.

Once the STC file is loaded in IBM Tivoli, you can use its security management features to carry out necessary tasks following established policies and procedures.
