<quote> [...] There is also a neat workaround for .wps files. If - as it seems - you are using Windows, you can download and install the free viewer for Microsoft Word document files from the Microsoft web site. This will accept and display your Works .wps files. Select all the text and copy-and-paste it into OpenOffice Writer. This will preserve most of the formatting, at least. </quote> ['Re: [users] MSFT Works 2000 .wps to .rtf or?'
