Once upon a time, OOo could open MS Works documents. Whether or not LibreOffice retained that capacity, I do not know. But it appears that Apache OpenOffice does not have that functionality. The only reason I know about that capacity, is because I used the wrong setting to open WordPerfect documents.

MS Works 8.0
I just downloaded OpenOffice 4.1.1 and would like to use it to open our old MS Works (wps) documents using OpenOffice. Wife has over 400 recipes in wps format. We have MS Works on the old laptop and want to transfer the documents in the new laptop. Is there some extension I can download to OpenOffice to convert these documents from wps to txt or some other common file format? Sent from Windows Mail

Here's what Microsoft say to do: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/315757 There are 3 different methods, depending what you have on your computer. I'm assuming you will have to download that converter to save a Word files, which OO should be able to open. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

The best way to open MS Works file is to use LibreOffice, http://libreoffice.org/download/ You can then save them in ODF format and open them in Apache OpenOffice if you want. S.
