Convert SAM to LWP

Understanding SAM and LWP file formats

The SAM file format is associated with Ami Pro, a word processor developed by Lotus Software. It was popular in the early 1990s and is known for its rich text formatting capabilities. SAM files typically contain formatted text, images, and other document elements.

The LWP file format is used by Lotus Word Pro, another word processing application from Lotus Software. LWP files are similar to SAM files but are used in a more advanced word processor that succeeded Ami Pro. They also contain formatted text, images, and other document elements.

How to convert SAM to LWP

Converting a SAM file to an LWP file involves using software that can read both formats. Since both formats are from Lotus Software, the best tool for this conversion is Lotus Word Pro itself. Here’s how you can perform the conversion:

1. Open Lotus Word Pro.
2. Go to File → Open and select the SAM file you wish to convert.
3. Once the file is open, navigate to File → Save As.
4. In the Save as type dropdown menu, select LWP as the target format.
5. Click Save to complete the conversion.

Best software for SAM to LWP conversion

The most reliable software for converting SAM files to LWP files is Lotus Word Pro. It is specifically designed to handle both file formats, ensuring that all document elements are preserved during the conversion process. If you do not have access to Lotus Word Pro, you may need to use a virtual machine or an older computer that can run the software, as it may not be compatible with modern operating systems.
