Corel WordPerfect is a word-processing program developed by Corel and included in the Corel WordPerfect Office suite. The .bk6 file stores a backup of a document.
BK6 files were used by some earlier versions of WordPerfect for document backups. They are intended to help recover a document, rather than serve as the normal working copy.
Try opening a copy of the .bk6 file in Corel WordPerfect for Windows. In the Open dialog, choose an option to show all files if the backup does not appear in the file list.
A BK6 backup is not a separate exchange format. If WordPerfect can open it, use the program's Save As or export option to save the recovered document in another supported format. If it cannot be opened, there is no general conversion method for this file.
