The .LWP file extension is associated with the Lotus Word Pro, part of the Lotus Smartsuite office suite and developed by IBM. Word Pro is word processor application, used to create and modify standard .DOC documents, tables and reports. It was formerly known as Ami Pro.
Format Details
Lotus Word Pro file format is a binary document type which generally contains text and its related formatting information such as font type, size, color, images, bullet points. It has support for different page view including navigator for handling pages which can be viewed as document outline. It also supports multiple stationery designs for documents wherein users can also use auto text fields and create macro’s for automating some common tasks.
It is similar to other document formats such as .DOC, .DOCX, .RTF, .SXW, .WPD, and .WPS.
Compatibility Details
Lotus Word Pro documents are incompatible with other word processors like Microsoft Word, but documents created in it can be converted to other formats using the Lotus SmartSuite office suite. They can also be opened using the free software Open Office Writer. It is compatible with current versions of Windows and Mac Operating Systems and some minimal Linux variants.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .LWP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .LWP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .LWP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .LWP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .LWP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .LWP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .LWP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .LWP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .LWP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .LWP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
