What is a .WK! file extension?

.WK! file extension is created by IBM. .WK! has been classified as Spreadsheet and workbook Files.

.WK! is Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet

The wk! file extension is associated with Lotus 1-2-3, a spreadsheet editing software for Microsoft Windows, MS-DOS, OS/2 and Mac.

The wk! files were used by some earlier version of Lotus 1-2-3.

MIME types:

application/x-123

.WK! file format is deprecated and this file format is no longer supported.

Currently, .WK! file type is not actively used and is obsolete. This usually happens with system files in older operating systems, files from long-discontinued software, or with previous versions of some file types (documents, projects, images, etc.) that were replaced in later versions of the original programs.


How to open:

Use Lotus 1-2-3 to open the .wk! files. Also some spreadsheets programs can still open the .wk! files, however the latest Microsoft Excel 2007/2010 no longer support that format.You can have luck with any earlier version of Excel, but you will probably loose some of the formatting from the *.wk! files.

How to convert:

Use compatible apps to export *.wk! files to other formats.
