How do I convert a WPS file to open office? I bought a new computer and loaded
all of my old docs (WPS ) on a flashcard, however I am unable to open any WPS
files in the new open office program.
Most versions of OpenOffice do not support Microsoft Works files.
However, there is a work around. You can install Microsoft Word Viewer
and Compatibility Pack (link below). This will allow you to read those
files and many other file types and then cut & paste into an OpenOffice
document. However, installing the Word Viewer will change the default
application for Word documents, so you'll have to change it back, as
described here:
Right click on file icon
Select Open With > Choose Program...
Check "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and
choose the desired application.
If that method is not available, follow the directions listed here:
