| The file extension .WPD may also refer to a Windows Printer Driver. This type of file will be located with your hardware files within your hard drive, which is normally located in your system files. This type of file is normally used automatically by the Windows Platform if needed to install a printer, and manual opening is not suggested.
The mostly likely case is that the .WPD file in question is a word processing file. .WPD files of this type contain formatted text and can also contain images, tables, graphs, and other embedded objects. .WPD files will contain streams of text, and will contain tags that store formatting information. Because the most common application used to open these types of .WPD files is Corel WordPerfect, these tags will normally show as reveal codes within this program. Similar to Microsoft Word documents, files ending in .DOC, .WPD files may also contain mail merge fields, which allow for information to be taken from an external source, most likely a spreadsheet or database file, and added into the .WPD file.
