Convert CWK to DOCX (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 DOCX file extension stands for "Document Open XML", a Microsoft Word Document format introduced in Office 2007. It uses XML and ZIP compression technology to create smaller, more efficient files compared to the older DOC format. DOCX files are widely used for creating, editing, and sharing professional documents, ensuring compatibility across various platforms and devices. This format supports advanced features such as macros, formatting options, and multimedia elements, making it essential for modern document processing in the IT and business sectors. Its history reflects Microsoft's ongoing efforts to enhance document interoperability and efficiency.
