What is an SXW file?
An SXW file is a legacy text document format associated with Sun Microsystems' StarOffice and the early versions of OpenOffice.org Writer (prior to version 2.0). It relies on the OpenOffice.org XML format, structuring data within a ZIP-compressed archive that contains XML files defining text, styles, and settings. This format was the direct technical precursor to the ISO/IEC 26300 OpenDocument Format (ODT) and shares a similar XML-based architecture, making it highly compressible and open for parsing.
How to open an SXW file
Native support for SXW is absent in default OS installations but is standard in open-source office suites. LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice are the recommended applications for opening and converting SXW files to modern formats like ODT or DOCX. Microsoft Word can usually open these files if the appropriate ODF converters or compatibility packs are installed, though layout discrepancies may occur.
