wps documents

[dlshenk3]

I am currently running Microsoft Office XP. I have some old wps documents
that were created using Microsoft Works. How do I convert these wps
documents to run with Word XP?

As far as I know there is no way unless you copy and paste the contents to
word. It should work, though make sure yousave directly after under
adifferent name.

Carey,

Thanks so much, I loaded down the converter and was able to convert my wps
files to word files. These were newspaper articles, that I retyped in
newspaper format, about a robbery that occurred in 1906. The robbery took
place at the home of my Great Grandfather. His son, my grandfather lived
with him along with my grandmother who was pregnant with her 1st child. My
grandfather had a gun battle with the robbers. He woulded all three and it
the process was woulded himself. I was sick thinking I would have to re-type
these all over again.

Again, Thanks
