Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The ect file extension is associated with Yozo Office, a multilingual office suite for Microsoft Windows developed by Yozosoft. The suite was available in Chinese, English, Japanese and French.
The ect file stores a chart template for use within Yozo Office. This format is obsolete, so newer software may not support it.
Open the ect file with a compatible version of Yozo Office on Microsoft Windows. Because the format is obsolete, the file may require an older version of the suite.
If a compatible version of Yozo Office opens the file, apply the chart template to a chart and export or save the resulting document or chart in a format supported by that version.
