MS Works Document Question......
Good Morning - I have a dell computer, about 2 years old, with Windows XP
and Office 2003. A friend is sends me documents occasionally ending with .wps, which is Microsoft Works, I believe... Problem is I can't open the document. I've tried changing to .doc, but that doesn't work. Should my Word program be able to open these documents?? Or, do I have to buy another program? Thanks.................................. TOM |

MS Works Document Question......
I've found instructions for installing the file format converter to convert
from Works to Word, using Add or Remove Programs, but I keep getting an error, "The installation source for this program is not available. Verify that the source exists and is available." I've inserted the MS Office disk, and click OK on the error, but it keeps taking me back to the "Verify the source Exists" error. Any suggestions??? Thanks................... TOM |

MS Works Document Question......
What you need is the filter for the particular version of Works. Most of the
filters are available from the downloads page of my web site - the rest are included with Word. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tom Massfeller wrote: Good Morning - I have a dell computer, about 2 years old, with Windows XP and Office 2003.

The Works files listed on my web site are the old filters for older versions
of Works. They all pre-date Word 2003. They will work with Word 2003 if installed as instructed in the accompanying text file and the registry patch applied. http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/WorksTextConv.zip You may get a security warning when you use these filters. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Tom Massfeller wrote: Graham, thanks for the help...

This WorksTextConv.zip works like a champ. Staff here at the office (who
don't have administrative rights to the PC they're working with) can do this without involving our overworked IT staff. THANKS GRAHAM. You're the best!

There are security implications of using the old filters as indicated on my
web site from where you downloaded the converters. Adding the software to your company PCs without the involvement (or permission) of your company's IT department is not something you should undertake. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jake wrote: This WorksTextConv.zip works like a champ.
