It is an open standard file format, meaning it can be used and edited by anyone who has a compatible application.
Technical detailsThe SDW file format is based on the OASIS OpenDocument Text format, which is a standard format for office documents that is designed to be compatible with a wide range of applications. The SDW format is a binary file format, which means it stores data in binary code that can be read and processed by computers. The SDW format stores text, formatting information, images, tables, and other objects in the document. The format supports a range of text formatting options, such as font type and size, bold and italic styles, and alignment options. It also supports the insertion of images and other objects into the document.
