The bp1 file extension is associated with the SmartWare Word Processor, a legacy word-processing program for Microsoft Windows developed by SmartWare Corporation.
A bp1 file contains a backup of the main document. It is intended to help recover or restore the document in SmartWare rather than serve as a general-purpose document format.
SmartWare and the bp1 format are old Windows software and file formats, so these files are most likely to be encountered alongside older SmartWare documents.
Open a bp1 file with the SmartWare Word Processor on Microsoft Windows. If the program provides a restore or recovery command, use that command to load the backup.
Because this is a SmartWare backup file, other word processors may not be able to open it correctly.
The bp1 file is a backup format rather than a general interchange format. Open or restore it in SmartWare, then save or export the recovered document in a document format supported by that program.
