What is a WPD file

WPD files mostly belong to Windows by Microsoft. WPD is the filename extension of a text document created by WordPerfect word processing application. Although different versions of WordPerfect save a document in a WPD file, they do not necessarily use the same format. WPD is also the filename extension of a document created by Act! customer relationship management software. Another type of WPD file contains information used by printer drivers on Windows operating system. SAWStudio digital audio workstation uses a WPD file to store information about the intensity and frequencies present in a related audio file saved in WAV format.

WPD format details:

Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). However, different programs can use the same file extension. Furthermore, a file extension can be renamed incorrectly and double-clicking on it will then display an error when it is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. In the following you will find our evaluation of the WPD files:
