- Description
- The AW file type, standing for Answer Wizard File, is associated primarily with Microsoft Office applications, particularly with Microsoft Word and its integrated help system. AW files are designed to store indexes and data used by the Answer Wizard feature, enabling users to search for and receive help or answers to questions about using Microsoft Office programs. The Answer Wizard offers a more intuitive way for users to find assistance by allowing them to type questions in natural language, after which it searches through its database of AW files to provide relevant help.
- This format was developed by Kodak in order to store images on optical or other media. It is used as a format for archiving scanned documents on Kodak devices. It encodes images in 24-bit color and supports resolutions of up to 6144x4096 pixels.
