| Description | 🔵 The file format .wps was the main text editor format in the Microsoft Works package, which was discontinued. This format provided basic formatting capabilities comparable to early versions of Microsoft Word, but did not support advanced functionality. Initially for opening files .wps required the Microsoft Works package. After it was discontinued, individual versions of Microsoft Word were able to open such files, however, some formatting elements may not be displayed correctly or may not be supported. |
| Technical details | 🔵 Currently using the format .wps is limited. Due to the fact that each version of Microsoft Works retained different format options.wps, then such a file did not always open on another computer. Therefore, it has become a popular solution to use a universal format like .doc or .docx. Despite the limited distribution, the format .wps allowed you to save simple tables and images in a document. Files in this format are usually small in size. Now.wps is considered obsolete, and special software is often required to open it or convert it to a modern format. As a result of the withdrawal of Microsoft Works from support, the widespread use of standard formats has become the main solution. Nevertheless, an understanding of the format features.wps remains relevant for accessing and converting documents created in an earlier period. |

Raw text file
| Extension | .txt |
| Category | 🔵 documents |
| Programs | 🔵 Notepad 🔵 TextEdit 🔵 WordPad |
| Description | 🔵 Think of .txt (Plain Text) as the digital world’s 'ground zero.' It’s the most stripped-back way to store data—no headers, no embedded styles, just the characters themselves. While formats like .docx or .pdf carry a ton of structural baggage, .txt is essentially weightless. That’s why it’s the universal fallback; if a device has a screen and a processor, it can almost certainly read a text file. |
| Technical details | 🔵 Technically, calling a .txt file 'simple' is a bit of a half-truth. The real complexity lies in the encoding. In a modern workflow, you’re usually looking at UTF-8, but legacy systems still kick around ASCII or UTF-16. Since a .txt file doesn’t actually announce its own encoding type, you’ll still occasionally hit that 'encoding mismatch' wall where symbols turn into gibberish. Then there’s the infamous Line Break issue. It’s a classic developer headache: Windows insists on CRLF (Carriage Return + Line Feed), while the Linux and Mac worlds stick to a simple LF. It’s a tiny invisible difference that can still wreck a config file if you’re moving it between servers. Because there’s no room for metadata (like 'Author' or 'Date Created') or fancy formatting, these files are incredibly lean. This makes them the 'gold standard' for everything from quick notes and READMEs to complex source code and JSON payloads. They are inherently safer than most formats because they don't execute anything—they just sit there as raw data. In an era of bloated software, the .txt format’s refusal to be anything more than it is remains its biggest competitive advantage. |
