Lotus Word Pro

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lotus Word Pro is word processing software from Lotus Development Corporation (now an IBM company ). Word Pro is the successor to Ami Pro .

Word Pro was sold as a package with the Lotus SmartSuite , which was marketed until 2013. The last version of Word Pro was 9.8 Fix Pack 6 from 2007 and runs on all Windows versions from Windows 95 to Windows 7. Earlier versions were also available for OS / 2.

File format

The files created with Word Pro have the extension .lwp (in older versions and Ami Pro also .sam). Template files (so-called SmartMaster) have the file extension .mwp. WordPro from SmartSuite 9.8 can no longer read the original SAM format from AmiPro.

The file format itself is proprietary and cannot be easily read by other programs. With Word Pro you can read, edit and save many foreign formats (e.g. Microsoft Word ). There is a viewer for Windows that can be used to view the files.
