Open IAW File

IAW files can refer to multiple types of files depending on the context, and each has its own method to be opened or used. The two notable types include Actuate Information Object Design files and Write Assistant files.

Actuate Information Object Design Files

IAW files, in the context of Actuate Information Object Design file, are utilized in the Actuate Information Object Designer. Actuate Corporation, an international Integrated Information Management (IIM) company, developed this software. The files are typically associated with structuring report objects for the Actuate e.Report suite, and have an .iaw extension.

By default, the most recommended method of opening these files is through the Actuate software. If you're looking for a way to go about this, the Actuate software can be found here. However, if this isn't an option for you, there are other programs like e.Report Designer Professional and OpenText Analytics Designer that can open this type of IAW files.

Write Assistant Files

The best way to open these files is using the Write Assistant application itself, and you can check the software application out from the Software Consulting Services website. If the Write Assistant application isn't available to you, the fonts and layouts may appear differently, but software like Microsoft Word or Google Docs can open them.
