It is a historically popular word processing file format, which can also be opened by most versions of Microsoft Word. Development of the DOS and Macintosh versions of WordPerfect were stopped in but the Windows version is still under active development by current owners Corel.

WordPerfect was the top selling word processing software during the 's and early 's, and retains a big fanclub to this day so much so that it was still the second most popular office suite up to a couple of years ago. The vast majority of WPD files are word processed documents, and primarily contain formatted text. WPD files produced in Corel WordPerfect are also capable of storing embedded objects such as images, tables and graphs produced in other applications.

WPD files contain streams of text, and store formatting information using tags which can be shown as reveal codes in Corel WordPerfect. These identify how each section of text or object is formatted at a glance, and can be useful when diagnosing 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.

Though other formats such as Microsoft Word's File extension DOC format are used more frequently to transfer word processed documents which need to be editable, WPD files are supported by the majority of word processing software. Take care. Also, opened up. Thanks for the post. After I renamed the file with the. I tried each of them and none of them worked. Each method I use brings up this dialogue box which is a dead end.

WP extension my older Word —or so—would not. I had hoped to find something akin to the old QuickView from 15 or so years ago. There is, it seems, an updated, version of Quick View from Avanstar. Thanks again. Renaming the file and trying to open it opened a dialog box with many options. The link you provide for wordperfect lightning does download a program by that name.

Thank you so much for this post, it really saved me a lot of work as I needed to reuse some documents from 15 years ago when I had WordPerfect. I am still generating invoices and POs in WordPerfect 7.

I also have Office Trying to open WPD files in Word does not work. Renaming the file to DOC does not fool Word Also the latest version of Office lets you save any document in a PDF format. The only official option, thus far, has been the official and commercial Corel WPD viewer, but the user reviews have been mixed, to say the least.

This problem has prompted me to research and experiment, based on the fact that a free Windows MS Office-compatible suite like Libre Office [or Open Office, or Apache Office] has, for some time, had the ability to open WordPerfect files seamlessly [and save them, sometimes]. I formatted and saved a few basic WPD files, simply renamed the file extension to. ODT, and opened them in Libre Office — virtually perfectly [only experiencing importing issues with some complex tables].

Apart from that, formatting features like different fonts, graphics boxes, numbered outlining? No problem. The best result so far [only been testing for the last 2 days] has come from OOReader [free via the Google Play store]. Interestingly, the official Libre Office viewer app [also the beta one] chokes on these FrankenFiles, as well as most other allegedly ODT-compatible office viewers and editors. Date: 28 May Use LibreOffice or Word. Ditch WordPerfect. I tried switching to WPO, but the bad support for its native file formats everywhere made this literally impossible.

Great information! Great website!
