Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
The wbk file extension is primarily related to a backup format used in version of MS Word 2007 or earlier.
It seems this file was generated as some sort of secondary backup (by renaming the actual document) when the user enabled "always create backup copy" function in the programs settings.
This worked in conjunction with .asd files that were used as auto-backups, to recover un-saved document in case the program was suddenly terminated.
You should be able to just rename .wbk to .doc and work with this format.
Once the suffix is changed back to .doc, you can work with this file much like any other Word document.
