How to open a MS Works .WPS file in Word 2004?

[John Wolf]

Someone emailed me a .wps file and it wont open in Word. I do not have
MacLink Plus, and based upon the lack of a response to my previous thread I
am going to assume that Works files cannot be opened in Word 2004 without
MacLink Plus. Am I correct? If I receive no answers I will make an
assumption that I am correct and that I will just need to ask the sender to
send the file in a format I can read, or try reading the file on a PC.

How To Convert WPS to DOC

If you don't have access to MS Works, you will need to convert the .wps
file to some other format before you can open it. Microsoft provides
several free converters and tools for this purpose (MS Windows required)
-

* Microsoft Works 6-9 File Converter - Lets you open and edit .wps
files in Word.
* Word Viewer 2007 - a standalone application that can open WPS
files (not all versions though).
* All MS Works-related downloads - some other utilities.

Fortunately there is a free online converter that can convert a .wps
file to a .doc file (or even a PDF file) - Zamzar.com. It works like
this - you choose a WPS file from your computer, choose the file format
to convert to, enter your email address and receive the converted file
within minutes. I've already written about Zamzar previously - it's a
very useful free tool that can convert many different file formats.
