WK1 File Extension Description

The file extension .wk1 is a proprietary format specifically identified with the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet software application. The .wk1 file extension represents the spreadsheet file generated by Lotus? software program, which was subsequently acquired by IBM. The spreadsheet application provides substantially powerful procedures in dealing with numbers, and even complex mathematical operations.

Upon taking over of the spreadsheet program associated with the file extension .wk1, IBM continued the research and development of the application to make it more functional and responsive to the needs of its users, by incorporating relevant current technologies. The file extension .wk1 stores the data relative to the results of the calculations and analysis operations of its data, including charts and reports based on the contents of its cells.

Lotus? latest release of the .wk1 related spreadsheet application, Lotus 1-2-3, takes advantage of the benefits derived from the technology offered by the Internet, as well as network connectivity. The .wk1 file extension is equipped with SmartMaster templates, which are voice activated allowing users faster completion of specific tasks, like reporting of expenses or the amortization of loans.

The file extension- .wk1 is likewise more compatible with the Microsoft Office Excel, which remains the preferred spreadsheet of choice by majority of computer users. This compatibility allows for better integration and incorporation of both Lotus and Excel formats in a single spreadsheet document.

The file extension .wk1 also maximizes the potential of the Lotus software application?s SmartLabels, which allows the summation of a range of cells simply by typing the word TOTAL, including a host of reserved words that are readily identified by the application. The program is also capable of moving and copying entire worksheets within a .wk1 file extension, by dragging it or invoking the command from the program menu.

Spreadsheets programs were not readily accepted by enterprises and organizations, which relied heavily on manual computing, but the presence of the Lotus and other similar spreadsheet applications in desktop PCs paved the way for their general integration in the business mainstream.
