File Extension CWK

Apr.15, 2009 in Software

File extension CWK is described as a data file for Claris Works, an application suite that was acquired by Apple in 1998 and rebranded the suite as AppleWorks, which also used the file extension CWK.

ClarisWorks is an integrated suite of office application which was developed for use on the Mac and Windows platforms. ClarisWorks used the file extension CWK, which could denote a document produced using any of these components. CWK files may contain anything from a word processed document or spreadsheet to a database or graphical image data.

Unlike other office suites, ClarisWorks was designed to integrate seamlessly, allowing the embedding of frames within other documents. What does this mean? For example; drawings, images or spreadsheets could be embedded within a word document.

You can open file extension CWK files using an appropriate version of either ClarisWorks or AppleWorks on either the Windows or Mac platform. However, AppleWorks was discontinued in 2007 and will no longer be sold, supported or developed.
