The WordPerfect text file is a document format originally developed by the WordPerfect Corporation and subsequently maintained by Corel. It was primarily utilized for word processing tasks, including document creation, formatting, and layout design in early desktop computing environments. As a legacy format, it has largely been succeeded by the modern WPD extension, though it remains relevant for archival data retrieval and historical record preservation.
