Convert WK3 to ODS

The WK3 file extension stands for Lotus 3 Worksheet, a spreadsheet file format developed by IBM for its Lotus 1-2-3 software. Introduced in the 1980s, WK3 files store data in cells organized into rows and columns, similar to modern spreadsheet formats. Although Lotus 1-2-3 is now discontinued, WK3 files can still be opened with software like Microsoft Excel (versions prior to 2007). This format played a significant role in the early days of personal computing and data management.

An OpenDocument Spreadsheet (ODS) file is utilized for storing spreadsheet data and is compatible with various office software suites such as Apache OpenOffice Calc. Originating from the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF) standard, the ODS extension ensures interoperability across different software platforms by using XML-based open format. First ratified in 2005, ODF was developed to provide an open, vendor-neutral format for office applications, promoting accessibility and long-term archival. In a professional IT context, ODS files are valued for their flexibility, standardization, and ability to be integrated seamlessly into diverse computational environments.
