Convert CWK to DOC (Word)

The CWK file extension stands for ClarisWorks Document, specifically used for word processing documents within ClarisWorks (later AppleWorks). Apple rebranded ClarisWorks to AppleWorks after acquiring Claris in 1998 and discontinued it in 2004. These CWK files have since been largely replaced by formats like PAGES in Apple's iWork suite. Opening CWK word processing files now requires older versions of Apple's Pages.

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.
