[edit] Identification

Some files (those with a .WPM extension?) begin with the signature ff 57 50 43 ?? ?? ?? ?? 01 01.

Others (those with a .WCM extension?) begin with ff 57 50 43 ?? ?? ?? ?? 01 0a, which is the same as a generic WPD document; TrID distinguishes macros by searching, case-insensitive, for the strings "application", "default", and ".wcm" in the file.[1]
