The WBK file format is primarily associated with Microsoft Word as a backup file. When you work on a Word document, the software can create a backup copy with the .wbk extension to prevent data loss. This file format is not meant for direct editing or sharing, but rather for recovery purposes.

DOC files support text formatting, images, tables, and other elements, making them versatile for various document types.
