The slk file extension is associated with Microsoft Office (mostly Microsoft Excel).
The SYLK stands for a Symbolic Link, which is a Microsoft proprietary file format typically used to exchange data between applications, specifically spreadsheets. SYLK files conventionally have an slk file extension.
From within a spreadsheet data can be exported in the SYLK format. Comprised of only ASCII characters, it is easily created and processed by other applications, such as databases.
Microsoft does not publish a full SYLK specification. Variants of the format are supported by Multiplan, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Works, OpenOffice.org, and Gnumeric.
Use Microsoft Office apps or other software office suites like OpenOffice.org.
Occasionally, because the files are entirely in ANSI characters they can be opened with plain-text editors.
Open the file in suggested software and save in other file format supported by your application.
