Description | 🔵 .wps (Microsoft Works Word Processor) The .wps file format is used by Microsoft Works Word Processor, which was a part of Microsoft's discontinued Works suite. WPS files are similar to Microsoft Word documents but have fewer features and were used in a more basic word processing program. Due to the limited adoption of Microsoft Works and the dominance of Microsoft Word in the word processing space, WPS files are less common and may require specific software or converters to open in more modern word processing programs. |
Technical details | 🔵 The .wps file format, which was part of the now-defunct Microsoft Works suite, was primarily used for word processing. .wps files, created by the "Works Word Processor," had basic formatting similar to early versions of Microsoft Word but lacked advanced features. Originally only compatible with Microsoft Works, certain versions of Microsoft Word can now open .wps files with limited formatting options after the discontinuation of Works. Due to the decline of Microsoft Works, .wps files often need to be converted to formats like .doc or .docx for better compatibility. The .wps format differed across various versions of Microsoft Works, affecting file compatibility. Although less popular compared to formats like .doc, .wps supported basic graphics and tables, had smaller file sizes, and is now considered a legacy format requiring specific conversion tools. The discontinuation of Microsoft Works has decreased the use of .wps files, with more focus placed on standard document formats. Understanding the .wps format is essential for accessing or converting older documents. |

Microsoft Excel Binary File Format
Extension | .xls |
Category | 🔵 documents |
Programs | 🔵 Microsoft Office 🔵 LibreOffice 🔵 Kingsoft Office 🔵 Google Docs |
Main program | 🔵 Microsoft Office |
Description | 🔵 The .xls format is the default file format for spreadsheets created in Microsoft Excel, particularly in versions before Excel 2007. This binary file format can store data in cells organized in rows and columns, and it supports formulas, charts, graphs, and various formatting features to manipulate and visualize data. The .xls format was commonly used in business, finance, and any field requiring data analysis and presentation, but has since been largely replaced by the more advanced .xlsx format. |
Technical details | 🔵 The `.xls` format, primarily used for Microsoft Excel versions before 2007, stores spreadsheet elements such as worksheets, formulas, and macros. Being a proprietary binary format created by Microsoft, its undocumented internal structure has made compatibility with third-party software quite challenging. This format consists of binary records that contain data, formatting, and embedded objects, allowing for multiple worksheets, various functions, and inter-sheet referencing. `.xls` files can also include Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros, which enable automation and complex calculations. While supported in applications like OpenOffice Calc, there are options available to convert between `.xls` and other formats such as `.xlsx`. Despite security concerns related to macros, `.xls` is still commonly used due to its compatibility with older Excel versions and legacy systems. However, the newer `.xlsx` format, introduced in Office 2007 and utilizing XML and ZIP technologies, offers improved efficiency and security features. |
