So why (in 2.1) when I go to File-Open in Writer, is there an option in
the Filter Drop-down box for Microsoft WORKS files then?

It's the one that came bundled with TR3....

It's true. I'm amazed!

I have PCLinuxOS 2007 Test Release 3 on another partition. I just rebooted, and confirmed it does have a Microsoft Works entry in the list of filters. Here is a screenshot:

I unsuccessfully tried to locate a works file to open, but couldn't find one, so I can't confirm it works. I don't know the origin or history of this version of OpenOffice.org, but I'm intrigued!

Here's a gift ... you may have a try ...
(with MS Works 8.5 - clean):

file ID: 1285831 -
test_85_b.wps (27,136 b)
