Quick answer
Use Open With for a one-time choice, or Get Info to change the default association for that type. Confirm the scope before choosing Change All.
Understand the issue
Test one ordinary file in the preferred app first. An application may appear in a chooser without supporting every feature of the file format. Preserve the original when testing edits or conversion so a new app does not overwrite important data.
Step-by-step checks
- Select the file and try Open With.
- Confirm it displays correctly in the intended app.
- Use Get Info and Change All only if you want the broader default change.

What the results mean
If the app cannot interpret the format, changing its association will not convert the file.
