StarOffice Writer Document - Legacy (.sdw)

The SDW file extension is associated with StarOffice Writer, a word processing application from the StarOffice suite developed by StarDivision and later acquired by Sun Microsystems. Predominantly used in the late 1990s and early 2000s, SDW files contain formatted text, images, and tables. Despite the discontinuation of StarOffice, SDW files remain accessible through modern office suites, ensuring the continued usability of these legacy documents.

Rich Text Format (.rtf)

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.
