Convert SYLK to XLT

The SYLK (Symbolic Link) file extension, primarily used in the context of data interchange between applications, was introduced by Microsoft. These files facilitate the transfer of spreadsheet data to programs like Microsoft Excel. SYLK files contain symbolic representations of spreadsheet information, streamlining data import and export processes. Although their prevalence has waned with the advent of more advanced formats, SYLK files remain an important part of data management history due to their role in early software interoperability and data exchange standards.

The XLT file extension stands for Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Template. It is used in Microsoft Excel versions 97 through 2003 to create templates containing default formatting, layout, and formulas. These templates serve as a starting point for generating new spreadsheets with consistent design and structure. Although replaced by the XLTX format in Excel 2007 and later versions, XLT files are still supported for backward compatibility.
