What is a .WPW file?
A .WPW file is a type of text document. It is made by software called WordPerfect Works or Novell PerfectWorks. These programs are special versions of another program called WordPerfect. A .WPW file is quite similar to a .WP file, which is also related to WordPerfect. This means that the way you save and the format of a .WPW file is the same as for a .WP file.
You can open a .WPW file using the WordPerfect program. Besides WordPerfect, there are other programs that can open .WPW files because they can open .WP files too. Some of these programs include LibreOffice and Corel WordPerfect 2021. LibreOffice is mentioned more than once, but it's just one program that can help you open and view the contents of a .WPW file.
It's interesting to note that while .WPW files are used with mobile applications, there is another type of file, called .WDW, which is used for desktop applications. This means that if you are working on a computer, you might come across .WDW files, but if you are using a mobile device, you will likely deal with .WPW files.
