70058 2002-08-10 23:43:00 I received an attachment to an email which bore the extension wps. Although the symbol was a W similar to Microsoft Word I presume this may be Word Perfect? I am running MS Office. Is there anyway of opening this attachment please?
Thanks Smurf

70059 2002-08-11 00:14:00 It is MS Works. Check out the post a few down "Viewing .wks documents without Microsoft Works".

That one is about Works spreadsheets whilst your one is about the Works word processor.

You may need to use your Office disk to install Works convertors.

70060 2002-08-11 00:47:00 MsWord will open a Works document.
Hold down shift key and right click and choose "Open with .." and select Word.
Or you can open Word & then choose open document. Selelct the "All files" options from the open document dialogue screen. Point Word to the Works document.
Hope that helps.

70061 2002-08-11 00:53:00 But MSWord is NOT a spreadsheet and will not make sense of a .wks spreadsheet. Try opening an excel sheet in word if you want a demo... godfather (25)
70062 2002-08-11 00:58:00 Godfather,

Are you into the gin?

THIS post is about .wps - a word processed document.
The LAST post was about .wks - spreadsheets...

Word SHOULD open .wps IF the convertors are installed

70063 2002-08-11 01:00:00 If the file extension was .wks then it would be a Works spreadsheet file, but the extension in question is a .wps file which is a Works document and as such Word is the one to open it with. Neelyar (973)
