- Description
- Lotus Worksheet (wk1) is a file type used by the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application. It is a binary file format used to store worksheets, which can contain numerical and textual data, as well as formulas, charts, and images. It is now considered an obsolete file type and is replaced by the newer xlsx format.
- 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.
