Amongst the files in the zip is the registry patch - Works text
Converters.reg. Unzip this file along with the others to the TextConv
folder. Then from Windows Explorer, select and right click this file. One of
the options available at the top of the options list is 'merge'. Click this.
Click 'yes' at the warning message. This will add the extra keys to the
registry that make the converters available to Word. You should then be able
to open your Works documents in Word.
You probably don't want to hear this now, but recent versions of Works can
save in Word document format (file save as).

I have seen my question already asked and answered. I have also gone
to Graham Mayor's web site to try the File Converter download. I
follow all the steps, but get stuck at merging the registry patches
with my registry (right click the patch in Windows Explorer and
select Merge). I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help
me? This is really an emergency to me because I am looking for a
job, and every recruiter and/or potential employer wants me to email
them a resume in word format, not works; they can't open works
documents. I have already paid the money to add Word to my programs,
but can't seem to figure out how to convert the files I already have.
And the amount of time I've spent on this (4 hrs), I could have
already retyped the resume.
