A CWK file is a text document created by ClarisWorks or AppleWorks, two office suites released by Apple for Mac and Windows operating systems. It contains text, images, and formatting and can be opened with the ClarisWorks or AppleWorks word processor.
XLK files are Microsoft Excel Backup Files, which are created as backup copies of Excel files (.XLS or .XLSX). They contain a copy of the excel file in its original state, and can help to restore a file if the original is lost, damaged or corrupted.
