Convert STX to STU

Understanding STX and STU file formats

STX files are commonly associated with Microsoft Outlook and are used as Outlook Style files to store formatting and style information for emails. Alternatively, in some software, STX may refer to structured text files used for configuration or data exchange.

STU files are less common and are typically used by E-Prime (a psychology experiment software) as Studio files to store experiment design data. The format is proprietary and not widely supported outside its native application.

How to convert STX to STU

Direct conversion between STX and STU is not generally supported, as these formats serve different purposes and are used by different software. If you need to transfer data or styles from an STX file to an STU file, you will likely need to manually extract the relevant information and recreate it in the target application.

Recommended software for conversion

The best approach is to use the native applications for each file type:

• STX: Use Microsoft Outlook or the software that created the STX file to open and view its contents.
• STU: Use E-Prime Studio to create or edit STU files.

If you need to transfer style or configuration data, open the STX file in its native application, copy the relevant information, and manually input it into E-Prime Studio to create a new STU file.

Alternative methods

If the STX file is a structured text file (not Outlook style), you may be able to open it with a text editor (such as Notepad++) and manually copy the data into E-Prime Studio. There are currently no automated converters for this process.

Summary

Due to the proprietary and distinct nature of STX and STU files, manual conversion is usually required. Always use the original software for each file type to ensure compatibility and data integrity.
