Convert LWP to DOC (Word)

The LWP file extension stands for Lotus Word Pro Document, a file format used by the Lotus Word Pro word processing program, part of the Lotus SmartSuite. Developed by IBM, it was widely used for creating, saving, and sharing documents with rich text features, including graphs, charts, and formulas. Although now considered obsolete, LWP files can still be converted to modern formats like Microsoft Word.

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.
