| 🔸 Description | WPD is a text document file format created by Satellite Systems International for their WordPerfect word processing software in 1980. It is a historically popular word processing file format, which most versions of Microsoft Word can also open. The DOS and Macintosh versions of WordPerfect were stopped in 1997, but the Windows version is still under active development by current owners, Corel. WordPerfect was the top-selling word processing software during the 1980s and early 1990s and remained a big fan club to this day (so much so that it was still the second most popular office suite up to a couple of years ago). WordPerfect has been acquired twice - first by Novell in 1994 and then by Corel in 1996, who continues developing the product and the WPD file format to this day. |
| 🔸 Technical details | WPD documents tend to contain formatted text primarily. WPD files produced in Corel WordPerfect, the company that has developed the format since 1996, can store embedded objects such as tables, graphs, and images produced in other applications. WPD files contain streams of text and store formatting information using tags shown as reveal codes in Corel WordPerfect. This highlights how each section of text or object is formatted at a glance and is useful when determining layout or formatting issues. Like similar file formats such as DOC, WPD files can also contain mail merge fields, which allow information from an external data source, such as a spreadsheet or database, to be inputted into a template. |
