If you need to convert MS-Works files, Microsoft provide a converter

The Works 6.0 Converter converts word processor documents created in
Microsoft Works 6.0 to Microsoft Word and other versions of Works.
Specifically, this converter works with Works 2000, 4.5, and 4.x, and
Word 2002, 2000, and 97 on machines running Microsoft Windows® 98,
2000 Professional, Millennium Edition, and XP.
This will convert your wife's Works files to Word, you could them
open them in Open Office, you might want to put some thought into how
to want her to save the files.
Hope that provides a little marital bliss
Have fun!

Hi I wrote in last week because I am having trouble accessing any wps
files. You suggested loading Open Office Beta 2 which I already
had but I
loaded it again and still cannot open any wps files. My wife is
ticked
because she has an ebay business and all her response letters etc.
are wps
files. She wanted me to go buy a new word program in the first
place but a
friend had told me about open office so I went this route. We live
in a
small town that doesn't have any word programs available so I
would have to
order in any program I'd buy which is another reason I went with Open
Office because I could down load it. I am stuck in the mean time.
Can you
offer any other suggestions to help this in the dog house husband
out.

That is correct, OOo does NOT read Works files. What it does read is
Wordperfect files which have a similar extension. I believe this
is where
the confusion has arisen. OOo reads RTF and DOC which I believe
WOrks can
produce directly or with converter from

So in a way your wife is right but had you said Works files at the
beginning we could have told you about having to do some extra work.
