many thanks, Keith
Which version of OpenOffice.org are you using, Keith? and on what
platform (operating system)?
I recently received a .wps file which opened happily in OOo 3.2 on my
Ubuntu machine, but I think this has some of the go-oo developments:

I think you may be using the OOo that we get from Openoffice.org and
that does not have a way to import wordprocessing files from MS Works
Russell
I think that the Ubuntu version has an extra feature to read these files.
Thanks
Rob
Yes! Ubuntu OOo is from Go-OO! And in the near future (11.04) from
LibreOffice (Libò/LO) / The Document Foundation (TDF).
Here you can see, at a glance, what Go-oo has (had) to offer in addition
to the features you expect in up-stream ("vanilla" said) OpenOffice.org
http://go-oo.org/discover/
among which you could also find
MS-Works import: Go-oo supports MS-Works files; you can also find there
e test .wps file
http://go-oo.org/discover/msworks.wps
But now Go-oo has been made obsolete
http://planet.go-oo.org/
by the exciting new LibreOffice project
http://planet.documentfoundation.org/
http://www.documentfoundation.org/

LibreOffice is now at 3.3beta2 stage (you could download it for Windows,
MacOSX, linux) and I just test it to read the above .wps file.
I just test the same .wps file on OOo 3.3rc3 vanilla but it doesn't read
it (it doesn't understand file type and open the "choose filter/file
type" window...)...
So if you want to adopt an application that does read those file
(Microsoft Works ones) and that is growing now on, I suggest you to
choose LibreOffice (Libò/LO) that is usable enough despite his beta
state at the moment (we expect the final one within december 2010).
Finally I suggest you to subscribe these two mailing list at least:

you could find the correct instructions respectively here

If you subscribe you will not be "moderated" any more.
Hope that help,
Carlo
