How does one use the filters.
Most of the filters I could find required a version of word to be already installed. There is a set of libraries (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwps/) that doesn't have this pre-condition, but there only offering is source code which needs to be compiled. If your up for a challenge of compiling on windows - then this would be ok.
The other link provided by NoOp did have some useful information but the only link that offered a converter without MS Office was this one: http://www.inabyte.com/products/inafileconverter/ This appears to be offered as a demo product, but I didn't try to find out what was offered in the demo -v- proper purchased version. I would seriously contemplate that if people are sending you information in this archaic and poorly supported format (that MS doesn't really support all that well) you ask them to resend in a 'standard' format (eg, RTF)... Alternatively you could suggestion them to download and install OOo. I didn't do an exhaustive search so if your really keen you will need to get friendly with google... /paul -- Vista is "dramatically more secure than any other operating system released" Bill Gates Huh ??
