Actually OOo does *not* have a filter for .wps files (MS Works). See: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Framework/Article/Filter/FilterList_OOo_2_1 The "WPS 2000/Office 1.0" in that list isn't the same as the Works wps. If I attempt to open a .wps (Works) file in 2.1, 2.1 crashes (General Error. General input/output error.). Here is some pretty good info on the converters available from MS etc: http://userful.com/support/ms-works [disclaimer: I no nothing about Userful or their products, I just ran across their web page explaining about Works conversions & found it helpful). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
