MS Word should already be able to do that.. when opening a .wks file, use
the 'file type' selection box to specify..

A .wks file might be a Works spreadsheet file or a Lotus 123
spreadsheet file, neither of which Word can open.

Works wordprocessor files have the wps extension.
To open wps files you need the converter for the version of Works that
created them. The latest one is provided with Word, the older ones are
linked from the downloads page of my web site.
wks files - as indicated by fellow MVP garfield-n-odie are incompatible with
Word.

Your right, my mistake. It was a wps extension. I have word 2002. It will not
convert automatically. I searched your web site site, but couldn't find
anything. Is the converter some type of add in?

Thanks for the help
