Converting works wps files

[Arleycott]

I had a large number of notes which were saved on Works as wps, and wks The
current computer runs Office on Xp home. I need to read/convert the note, but
am unable to find anything to help. Is there any way of retrievial, or must
I abandon this valauble resource to oblivion?
I am non-technical, so simple procedure advice is applicable.

Many thanks

Using Microsoft Works, you can export the files out to dBase files, or even
Text files if necessary.

You can then import the dBase (or Text) files into Access.

Access does not support Works files directly.

I understand that Word will convert these files. I can't answer for sure
because I haven't used Works since 1993. Your question may be better
answered in a newsgroup appropriate to your problem. This newsgroup is
dedicated to the Microsoft Access database product. The Microsoft website is
not all that clear and may have misdirected you.
