Convert WKU to XLS

Understanding wku and xls file formats

WKU files are typically associated with WordPerfect Macro Utility or other specialized software, often containing macro or data information in a proprietary format. These files are not widely supported and are usually used within specific legacy applications.

XLS is the file extension for Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet files, a widely used format for storing tabular data, calculations, and charts. XLS files are compatible with many spreadsheet programs, including Microsoft Excel and LibreOffice Calc.

How to convert wku to xls

Direct conversion from WKU to XLS is not commonly supported by mainstream file converters due to the proprietary nature of WKU files. The process usually involves exporting or extracting the data from the WKU file into a more accessible format (such as CSV or TXT), which can then be imported into Excel and saved as XLS.

Recommended software for conversion

• WordPerfect Office: If your WKU file is from WordPerfect, open it in the original application. Use File → Export or File → Save As to export the data to a CSV or TXT file.
• Microsoft Excel: Open the exported CSV or TXT file in Excel. Then use File → Save As and select XLS as the output format.
• LibreOffice Calc: This free alternative can also open CSV or TXT files and save them as XLS.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open the WKU file in the original application (such as WordPerfect Office).
2. Export or save the data as a CSV or TXT file using File → Export or File → Save As.
3. Open the exported file in Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc.
4. Go to File → Save As and choose XLS as the file type.

Tips and considerations

• Check the exported data for formatting issues before saving as XLS.
• If you do not have access to the original software, consider using a virtual machine or legacy system emulator.
• There are no reliable online converters for WKU to XLS due to the proprietary nature of WKU files.
