WordPerfect macro (WPM, WCM) refers to a family of macro file formats used by the WordPerfect word processor, and other Corel products. They are associated with a command language named PerfectScript.

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. It's not clear how to distinguish them, though TrID seems to be able to do it.
