Note

• A file type is a standard way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file. For example, Microsoft Word (.docx) and Adobe PDF (.pdf) are two different file types.
• A format family is a group of several file types for which an application provides additional information. For example, archive files (.7z, .rar, .zip, etc.) or Outlook files (.ost, .pst) are format families.
