What is a UOT file?

UOT files mostly belong to WPS Office. UOT files are spreadsheet documents used by Kingsoft Office, now managed under the WPS Office suite. These files use an XML structure to store spreadsheet data such as cell values, formulas, and formatting details.
When you open a UOT file you will find that its contents are organized in XML tags, which makes the file partly readable with a plain text editor. However, to view and edit the data properly, you need to use software designed for spreadsheets.
The primary use of UOT files is to hold data from spreadsheets created by Kingsoft Office. They are built for handling numerical data and formulas, making them common in office environments.

Software: Use WPS Office to open, view, and modify these spreadsheets.

Data structure: The XML format allows easier recovery and conversion if needed.

Interchange: Their XML nature can aid in data exchange with other XML-supported programs.

WPS Office
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. UOT files are often referred to as WPS Office spreadsheets because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Kingsoft WPS Office
The .UOT file extension is primarily associated with Kingsoft Spreadsheets, a component of the WPS Office suite. These files typically store spreadsheet data in an XML format, encompassing various elements like cell values, formulas, formatting, and other spreadsheet-specific information. While less common, the .UOT extension might also be encountered in other contexts within the WPS Office environment, potentially representing templates or other document types. Therefore, it's crucial to consider the software context when encountering a .UOT file. This file format is classified as Spreadsheet File.

UOT file format:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. When there is a problem with a file, the first step to solving it is to determine the file format. Below is our analysis of the UOT files:

The UOT file extension is not found very often and predominantly uses a uniform format. The following file formats are most commonly found in UOT files:

85% of all UOT files are associated with Uniform Office Format Text document files, which internally utilize the well-known XML format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The content also consists of readable text fragments, which can be viewed with the help of a text editor. The file size is in the range of 45 KB to 760 KB. This file type is new and state-of-the-art. The keywords <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, <uof:UOF xmlns:uof="http://schemas.uof.org/cn/2003/uof" xmlns, ="http://schemas.uof.org/cn/2003/uof- and ="http://schemas.uof.org/cn/2003/uof-spreadsheet" xmlns are typical for these files. Such files sometimes refer to motivation and lettre, and frequently comprise personal data.
10% of all UOT files internally use the ZIP format, multiple files are compressed and combined into one UOT file. 6 to 11 compressed files are common. File names inside are bookmarks.xml, content.xml, extend.xml, graphics.xml, rules.xml, styles.xml, uof.xml and \_meta\meta.xml. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. Most of these files are 8 KB to 46 KB in size. The keywords uof.xml are typical for these files.

The remaining 5% of all UOT files are files with no common format. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your UOT file!
