Convert LWP to RTF

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.

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.
