What is an LWP file?
The LWP format represents documents created by Lotus Word Pro, a word processor component of the IBM Lotus SmartSuite. These files utilize a proprietary binary structure to store rich text, page layouts, and 'SmartMaster' formatting templates. Developed by the Lotus Development Corporation (acquired by IBM), the format superseded the earlier SAM and AMI formats, serving as a primary competitor to Microsoft Word in the mid-1990s enterprise market.
How to open an LWP file
Native execution requires the discontinued Lotus SmartSuite software on Windows. For modern environments, LibreOffice Writer includes specific import filters to reverse-engineer and open LWP files, though some complex formatting may be lost. Alternatively, the KeyView file viewer can display contents without editing capabilities.
