What is a VEW file?

VEW files mostly belong to WordPerfect. VEW files are files that store view settings and layout templates in different software environments.
Primary use: In many cases, a VEW file is a WordPerfect Envoy document. These files are designed to hold information on how a document or email is displayed. They may include layout data, formatting instructions, and view configuration details.
Alternative use: Some VEW files serve as invoice data files, as seen with Tally ERP 9. In these instances, they carry data related to invoice formatting and can be referred to as Visual FoxPro View Files.
