Extract text from WordExpress documents (WD2)
To convert WD2 documents to another format, you need WordPerfect or other Text software.
To convert other file formats to the "Legacy Word Processing" file type, you need software like WordPerfect or a similar tool.
A .wd2 file is most commonly a legacy word processing document created by WordExpress (originally by MicroVision). These files contain formatted text, page layouts, and images similar to early Microsoft Word documents but use a proprietary encoding that modern software no longer supports. Users often encounter these files when accessing old backups or floppy disk archives, only to find that Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice generally refuse to open them.
A secondary but significant use (approx. 17%) is as a data storage file for Info Select, a Personal Information Manager (PIM) by Micro Logic. In this context, the file acts as a free-form database storing notes, contacts, and outlines. Less frequently, it may be a raw data log from Avery Weigh-Tronix industrial scales.
