The basic OpenOffice.org does not support Microsoft Works, so you should
convert a .wps file to a file compatible with OpenOffice.org. The
following list provides ways to convert .wps files to compatible
OpenOffice.org files:
If you have Microsoft Works, open the .wps file in Microsoft Works
and resave it as rich text format (.rtf) file.
Use Microsoft Word, resave it as .doc file.
Use an online converter service such as Zamzar.
Use any of these OpenOffice.org variants which include libwps (see
note below): OxygenOffice Professional, NeoOffice, Ubuntu, Your Office
Suite, LibreOffice, or any other variant based on ooo-build
Use the libwps command-line wps2html or wps2sxw converters.
(OpenOffice.org can open either .html or .sxw.)
