Corel WordPerfect Document Format | Corel | Text Files |
The WPD .WPD file format is a document created using WordPerfect software from Corel Corporation. It is used to store individual documents with various embedded elements, like text, images, tables, and more. The WPD file type is one of the most commonly used formats for storing text documents. It is widely recognized by a range of programs which understand and can both view and edit its source content.
Technical Details
The WPD file format is based on MIDI technology which allows for formatting options, such as style sheets, font sizes, editing and personalizing text. It is usually stored in a binary encoded format and may include password protection in order to account for privacy. WPD files are mainly viewed in Corel WordPerfect, but depending on the version of the software, they may be viewable in other word processing programs like Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Writer, and others. Other related filename extensions similar to WPD are: .WP, .WP7, .WP5, .WP6, .WP4, and .WSR.
Making Use of WPDs
The WordPerfect document file type allows users to create complex documents with multiple elements, such as text, images, tables, and more. With the help of this effective format, users can easily store and share their documents with colleagues whether they're working in-house or remotely. It gives them access to all the powerful tools associated with Corel WordPerfect, and with Microsoft Word compatibility comes the additional benefit of being able to share documents with a larger audience.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .WPD) 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 .WPD 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 .WPD 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 .WPD 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 .WPD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .WPD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .WPD 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 .WPD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .WPD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .WPD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
