I had a free trial offer from Microsoft nearly a year ago. I never created one document on it. My then, very old Windows XP couldn’t support it.
I just finally managed to convert my WPS file to a doc file, using Apache Open Office. Now, when I attempt to open the file – a message from Microsoft disallows it -- something like, “You are trying to use Microsoft Office, but you don’t have it.” A lease offer for Office is included with their statement. It has taken me such a long time to access my file. It was absolutely never on Microsoft Word. I have the file and a backup copy of the file and they both now have Microsoft orange blocks next to the file names. Does Microsoft own the file extention doc ? Can anything be done? I tried to reach a person to help me -- they’re all about signing me up for a Word Processing Lease to solve my problem.
