286348 2004-10-30 17:54:00 A friend has sent me an .wps file, so I tried opening it with word but that didn't work. So then I tried Works. That didn't work either.
Word 2000
Works 2000
May be it is some other word proccessor?

286350 2004-10-30 19:57:00 The best thing you can do is get in contact with the person who sent you the MS-Works file and ask them to save the document as either a word .doc file, or as an .rtf file.

Get them to re-open the document, and go File --> Save As, and click the drop-down menu labelled "Save-As Type"

Cheers

That worked, I down loaded a converter for Word2k & it's all working fine.
