Works (Wps) To Word (Doc) Converter.

[chazpowerslide]

Hi Chaps.

I have Word 2007 (DOC) and all my 2011 Stoneleigh docs are in Works (WPS) due to an upgrade from Vista to 7.

I need to edit all of the 2011 stuff to make them current to 2012 but I can't open them.

Have insalled on office the converter from microsoft "Works632_en-US.msi" which should allow the opening of Work (WPS) files in Word (DOC)

I go to Office, click on the logo, go to "open" and find the file, click "open" on the document, choose "Works 6.0 -9.0" and hit open.

I then get a dialog box open saying that I need a newer version of the Works 6.0 - 9.0 converter and when I check on-line it goes back to the same "Works632_en-US.msi" download which I already have, which does not work..................

It states that I should have windows installer 3.1 or higher on the system (I assume I have but how do I check)

So chaps any suggestions on how I can open/edit/save as works documents on word without downloading some bit of crap off the net that comes with added toolbars and a whole hoast of other crap attached as a condition of the free download?

TIA

Chaz.

I haven't tried it myself, as I don't have any .wps files to hand, but have you tried the online converter at: http://www.zamzar.com/

I think libreoffice can do it, certainly worth a try as its open source

Or OpenOffice openoffice.org.

Or, phone me mate....

I don't think open office can do it, certainly the version I've got can't. Could be wrong though.

Chaz - I could probably convert it as we've got most versions of Word/Works ever released. PM me if you'd like to email it...
