What do I need to be able to open a .WPS attachment?

 

Its a Microsoft Works file (if you didnt know)</p>

It'll open with Microsoft Works or Microsoft Word or if youve not got any of those you could use Word viewer.</p>

Microsoft Works.</p>

*.wps is an old school word processor document.</p>

 

Found this...

Any use?</p>

 

I've tried it with Microsoft works and it doesn't work! nt

 

IIRC they are documents created in Microsoft Works. So M$ Works is what you need. M$ Office will not open them which is a pain in the arse.
However, I think OpenOffice.org handles them so I'd try that if I were you.

 

Must be incompatable with the earlier version of Works I have

Needs newer version of windows!

Nothing like backwards compatibility is there!

 

RE: Needs newer version of windows!

Ah yes, I remember you use Windows 98. Have you tried converting it?</p>

Or

Or Word Viewer 97. Don't know about .wps compatibility though,</p>

That's sorted it - cheers!

Formatting is wrong but at least now I can read it!
