.wps files, how do I make them .doc ?
The missus has got a new PC, running vista with microsoft works.
However all her old work is saved in .doc format.
Anyone know how to convert I have tried downloading stuff and none of it works.
Or better still anyone got a late copy of word ?
Opening in wordpad is a waste of time.
Cheers Mark

Mark,
In the mean time use this viewer which will mean you can view the .doc files , but you wont be able to edit them
Word Viewer

Download either Abiword or Open Office Either can open and edit and export .doc files.
Both are 100% free GPL software
Abiword is an excellent and very compact word processor much like Word for Windows 2/MSWord95/MsWord97.

Open Office is a full blown Office suite although the database isn't up to Acees ease of use -- Open Office is a a hefty piece of softeware that
can be slow to start up and run on older PC.
