What is a .CWK file?

A .CWK file is a type of document file that was created using Apple's productivity software called AppleWorks or ClarisWorks. This software suite was capable of handling different types of documents such as word processing files, spreadsheets, and presentations. Essentially, a .CWK file could contain text, data in tables, or slides for presentations, depending on what it was used for.

However, AppleWorks and ClarisWorks software have been discontinued and replaced by newer applications known as iWork. The iWork suite includes Pages for word processing, Keynote for presentations, and Numbers for spreadsheets. Consequently, the newer versions of these types of documents are saved with different extensions: .PAGES for Pages documents, .KEY for Keynote presentations, and .NUMBERS for Numbers spreadsheets.

If you have a .CWK file and need to open it, you can use several programs that are available on Apple computers: 1. **Apple Pages** - This program is part of the iWork suite and is included with macOS. It can open .CWK files that are primarily word processing documents. 2. **Apple Keynote** - Also included with macOS as part of the iWork suite, Keynote can open .CWK files that are designed as presentations. 3. **Apple Numbers** - This is Apple's spreadsheet application, included with macOS, and can open .CWK files that contain spreadsheet data. 4. **Apple AppleWorks** - If you still have access to the older AppleWorks software, it can directly open any .CWK file since it was originally created for this program.

To open a .CWK file, you would typically right-click on the file and choose the appropriate application (Pages, Keynote, or Numbers) based on the content of the file. If you are unsure about the content, you might start by trying to open it with Pages and then switch to another application if needed.
