Microsoft Works Word Processor Document (.wps)
The WPS file extension, standing for "Microsoft Works Word Processor Document", was utilized primarily by Microsoft Works, a streamlined office suite aimed at home users. Launched in 1987, Microsoft Works offered basic productivity tools including word processing, spreadsheets, and databases. WPS files, specifically related to word processing, allowed users to create and edit documents, similar to Microsoft Word's DOC format but with fewer features. While Microsoft Works was discontinued in 2009, WPS files remain compatible with modern software, ensuring legacy document accessibility.
