Opening Works with Word
Hi
I am having difficulty opening some files that have been sent to me, I am using Word 2000, the sender informs me that he has Works v8. In an attempt to resolve the problem I downloaded and installed the Office File Converter pack from the Microsoft web site and installed it, however I still can't open the files and I cannot see that the Converter is doing anything. Am I missing something Thanks Nick |

Word 2000 only includes a converter for Works 4.0 .wps files.
Ask the sender to "save as" a Word .doc file and send you that instead.

Opening Works with Word
Either version will open a Works document if you have the right filter for
the Works version that created it. Rewcent Word versions have filters for the latest Works versions - the older filters are linked fron the downloads page of my web site. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Nick Bradbury wrote: How about Office 2003, would this open those files Nick "garfield-n-odie" wrote in message ...

Thanks Graham
I tried downloading the converter from your site unfortunately the files appear to be corrupted, I have previously tried to view them with Word Pad, so I will ask for a fresh set and try again.

If you are asking for a fresh set, ask for a set saved as RTF, which all
Works versions can manage. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Nick Bradbury wrote: Thanks Graham I tried downloading the converter from your site unfortunately the files appear to be corrupted, I have previously tried to view them with Word Pad, so I will ask for a fresh set and try again.
