Convert WK4 to XLTX

The WK4 file extension, short for Lotus 4 Worksheet, was developed by IBM for its Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet software. These files store data in cells organized into rows and columns, similar to modern spreadsheets. Primarily used for data entry and accounting, WK4 files have become less common with the discontinuation of Lotus 1-2-3. While older versions of Microsoft Excel could import WK4 files, this support was dropped in Excel 2007 and later. Today, specialized converters or older spreadsheet programs like Gnumeric can still open WK4 files.

The XLTX file extension stands for "Excel Open XML Spreadsheet Template" and is a file format used by Microsoft Excel. Introduced with Excel 2007 as part of the Office Open XML standard, it enhances the functionality of the older XLT format. XLTX files serve as templates that store predefined formatting, formulas, and styles, enabling users to create consistent and structured spreadsheets efficiently. This format supports advanced features and reduces file size, ensuring compatibility across different platforms. It remains a crucial tool for IT specialists to streamline repetitive tasks and maintain uniformity in data presentation.
