You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .lwp. Files with the file extension .lwp can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .lwp files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .lwp file?
The LWP file extension is used for a Lotus Word Pro Document developed by IBM (Industrial Business Machines). Lotus Word Pro is word processor software included in the Lotus Smart Suite Office suite which is used to create proposals, reports and other types of documents. The program is intended for use on IBM OS/2 and Microsoft Windows. It was based originally on Ami Pro, word processing program created and used by Samna (computer Software Company based in Atlanta, Georgia). IBM’s Lotus Group was able to obtain Ami Pro in 1990 and was later renamed as Lotus Word Pro with additional support included. The operating system used for Word Pro is Microsoft Windows and its features include Graphic Integration which lets users flow text graphics, Click here blocks which lets users fill in contents once or through repeated actions, Page menu quick and easy access such as page layouts and page breaks, Team Security which protects documents from unauthorized edits, helpful Menu Finder, Compatibility and via Voice Gold Integration.
how to open a .lwp file?
Launch a .lwp file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .lwp file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .lwp files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .lwp file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .lwp file will open the correct application.

The OR3 file editor is an alternative means of opening OR3 files. OR3 files are files mainly associated and created using the Lotus Organizer 97 software, developed by IBM and used to organize personal information, task lists, events, etc. OR3 files can contain whatever data as long as they are created using the Lotus Org 97 but when it comes to opening these files, a system may require Lotus applications to do so such as the Lotus software that created it, Lotus SmartSuite, etc. If the system does not have these Lotus applications installed, it would be impossible to open OR3 files unless users use the OR3 editor. OR3 editors come in a variety of names such as EditPlus, WavePad, etc. An OR3 editor contains features needed to edit OR3 files quickly and easily into a format that can be opened even without the Lotus Organizer installed. An OR3 editor also comes with a separate editor for Windows, for MAC, for Androids and for iphones, etc.

what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .lwp. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
