Open wps files

[ess]

A friend of mine has sent me some documents in wps (Microsoft Works) file format, but I don't have MS Works installed on my machine.

I have tried downloading MS Word 2003 Viewer, and other software plugins from Microsoft to try and view the document in Microsoft Word document....but haven't been successful so far.

Some people have suggested OpenOffice....but that didn't work either.

If any one knows of a solution to this problem, please let's know.

Thanks,
Ess

Word 2007 can open wps files. If you can attach them I don't mind opening them and converting them for you.

Thanks _Aerospace_Eng_ ;)

that is a very kind offer.

I have managed to convert the files after using a friend's computer who happens
to have MS Works Word Processor installed.

Ended up saving the documents as txt files...and then back to a doc format as well as a pdf format using OpenOffice.org.

Thanks
