Can't open 'wps' file
 

I've received a document file with the suffix 'wps' and all I get is this:

when I try to open it in Word. What's going wrong? :{

.wps is MS "Works" - the basic word processing programme that often comes bundled with XP.

Download a Works viewer (ie see, but not edit, though you can copy) here

MS Word 2007 will let you open it and edit it.

Thanks, a.a., I've just tried that - no luck. Still gobbledegook.

My copy of Office is about 2002, I think.

Try saving it as a .txt file and open using notepad - you'll prolly lose the formatting.

I would suggest you go to Microsoft and download the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats. It allows you to read Office 2007 formats in earlier versions of office. You can download it form this link Download details: Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats
