| Description |
The .wks file extension relates to spreadsheets created by Microsoft Works suite. Microsoft Works provided a less expensive and more simplistic spreadsheet program than Microsoft Excel. Often bundled with new PCs, the suite of products was discontinued in 2008. The file type was particularly unpopular due to a lack of compatability with other programs, including Microsoft Excel. |
