The cbd file extension is associated with Corel WordPerfect, a word-processing program developed by Corel Corporation. Corel WordPerfect is also included in the Corel WordPerfect Office suite.
A cbd file contains dictionary data used by WordPerfect for its language and spelling features. It forms part of the software's supporting data rather than a standalone document.
This format is used with the Microsoft Windows versions of Corel WordPerfect and Corel WordPerfect Office. Because it is an internal dictionary format, users will normally encounter it in or near a WordPerfect installation and should not need to edit it directly.
The cbd files are used for internal purposes of WordPerfect software. They can be associated with Corel WordPerfect or Corel WordPerfect Office on Microsoft Windows, but opening them directly may not display useful readable content.
There is no generally applicable standalone conversion for a cbd file. It is a WordPerfect dictionary support file, not a document format.
Keep the file with its WordPerfect installation. If dictionary content must be moved, use the dictionary or spelling-management features provided by the relevant version of WordPerfect rather than converting the file independently.
