The WPT format is a document template file associated with WordPerfect, a word processing system originally developed by Satellite Software International and currently maintained by Corel. It is primarily used to store layout structures, formatting styles, and boilerplate text for generating standardized documents like corporate reports or legal letters. As a legacy format commonly found in historical enterprise environments, it is considered safe, though opening files requires compatible software or specific document conversion utilities.
