I recieved email with an attachment. The extension is ".wps" (Works

How do I open a Works document in Word 2003?

I have had success with simply renaming the file from filename.wps to
filename.doc and then open with word.

Tried that. It is in such a format as to be unreadable, and part is just

Are you sure that the Works file isn't blank? (There are some people who

I know that I can covert Word to a Works doc but I've never tried the other

Try this converter. I know it says Word 2002 but it may work.
