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.
