Good Evening,
I just installed the open office software, I was told to get this because I
need to convert as extension of .wps to .doc, and I do not know where or what
to do to covert this. I get an error message saying (that this file needs to be
opened up by the works 6.0 text converter). The file I am trying to convert is
Gail's Resume.wps to Gail's Resume.doc.
Please advise on where or how I convert this over. I have Windows XP.
Thank you,
Gail
I don't think OpenOffice can read those Microsoft Works documents. One
work around, is to install the free Microsoft Word Viewer and
compatibility pack, which will enable you to open that document, so that
you can cut & paste it into another application such as OpenOffice.
Installing the Word Viewer will make it the default application for .DOC
files, so you may wish to set the default back to OpenOffice, by
resetting the file associations.
Word 2007 Viewer and Compatibility Pack:

Changing file associations
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:
