Hi Ian

I have some old Microsoft works files I want to take off of my backup CD, about 2 or 3 years old now. The only problem is, I think Works may be the only word processor that I can't access the files to in Open Office.

I've just discovered that the "Microsoft Word Viewer" application can also read Microsoft Works files. It is possible to get your Works documents into OpenOffice.org by opening them in the Viewer, and copying and pasting them into OpenOffice.org.

There is a how-to (including where to download the viewer) on the OpenOffice.org forum at

Hope this helps.
