Extract text from Lectora and AbiWord files (AWT)
To convert AWT files to another format, you need Lectora or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Authoring Project Template" file type, you need software like Lectora or a similar tool.
An .AWT file primarily functions as an e-learning authoring project template for Lectora or a document template for the AbiWord open-source word processor. Historically, it was also used by the discontinued Macromedia Authorware software for interactive courses.
Because .AWT is an umbrella extension for several unrelated proprietary formats, handling it can be frustrating. Lectora templates require expensive enterprise licenses to open. Sharing a raw .AWT file with clients or students is completely ineffective because standard web browsers and media players cannot execute project data directly. Similarly, AbiWord templates are niche and often incompatible with standard enterprise tools like Microsoft Word.
To make the contents accessible, you must convert the file. For Lectora courses, the ideal target is exporting the project to a standard ZIP archive containing .HTML5 or SCORM-compliant learning data. For AbiWord templates, converting to standard DOCX or PDF is highly recommended to prevent layout corruption and font loss across different operating systems.
Because these formats are heavily specialized, standard online converters often fail to process them. They lack the rendering engines of the native software. However, convert.guru offers a pragmatic solution. Drag and drop your file to see what it is and convert it if supported. Since many modern .AWT files are built on underlying XML structures, our analysis tools can often extract plain text, locate embedded media, and verify exactly which type of .AWT file you are dealing with.
Convert.Guru analyzes your AWT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PROT, TBX and FDE files.
If you want to convert AWT file to TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN, LOG or NFO, you can use Lectora or similar software from the "E-learning and Document Templates" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to AWT, try Lectora or another comparable tool in the "E-learning and Document Templates" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AWT converter.
