What is a .XLW file?
An .XLW file is a type of file specifically used by Microsoft Excel, which is a program designed for creating and managing spreadsheets. The ".XLW" stands for Excel Workspace. This file saves information about how different Excel workbook files are arranged on your computer screen. It includes details like where each workbook is positioned and shortcuts to these workbook files. This is particularly useful when you are working with multiple Excel workbooks at the same time and want to maintain a specific layout of these workbooks on your screen. When you open an .XLW file in Excel, it restores this layout, making it easier to continue working where you left off.
To open an .XLW file, you will need to use Microsoft Excel. The most current version of this software is Microsoft Excel 365. This version, as well as other recent versions of Microsoft Excel, can open .XLW files. To open the file, you simply need to double-click on the .XLW file if Excel is installed on your computer, or you can open Excel first, and then use the 'Open' option from the file menu to navigate to and open the .XLW file.
