Open WPM File

A file with the .WPM extension refers to a file that is connected to two main types of files � WordPerfect Macro and Warcraft III Path Map. Notably, these two file types belong to different categories and are used by different programs.

WordPerfect Macro Files

WordPerfect, by Corel Corporation, uses the WPM extension for its macro files. Macro files are a set of instructions written in a macro language that automates frequently performed tasks. These files are generally used to speed up document editing and creation processes. To open and use WPM files as WordPerfect Macros, one requires a compatible WordPerfect software.

Warcraft III Path Map Files

On the other hand, Warcraft III, a popular video game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, also uses the WPM extension, but for a different file type � the Path Map files. These Path Map (WPM) files reveal which areas in the Warcraft III map are walkable and which are not. To open and use WPM files as Warcraft III Path Maps, one needs Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne software. Access Blizzard Entertainment's official site here for more details.

WPM File Important Information

While both WordPerfect Macros and Warcraft III Path Map files share the WPM file extension, they can't be used interchangeably. Attempting to open a Warcraft file in WordPerfect or vice versa can result in error messages. Always ensure that the software and the WPM file match in their intended use. Lastly, in case you receive a WPM file and can't open it, it might be because you don't have the correct software.
