Quattro Pro for Windows 7 (WB3) is a proprietary spreadsheet file format developed by Borland and later maintained by Corel Corporation. These files store financial data, formulas, and charts within the Quattro Pro software suite, which historically competed with Microsoft Excel. Although now considered a legacy format, it remains compatible with modern versions of the WordPerfect Office suite for archival data retrieval and is generally considered low-risk.
