how do I convert Works files into Word 2003 running Vista?
I have some old .wps files I can't open. I'm running Word 2003 on Vista Home
Premium. I tried the "Help" file in Word, but it has no Vista specific help and the XP instructions didn't work. Thanks in advance. |

how do I convert Works files into Word 2003 running Vista?
If the correct filter is installed, Word should recognize it as a Works file
and open it correctly. So... the first place to check would be in Word 2003 setup, and make sure that any available Works filters are installed (Control Panel - Programs - Programs and Features - Microsoft Office 2003 - Change - Add or Remove Features - Next - Choose advanced customization... - Next - Office Shared Features - Converters and Filters - Text Converters - etc.). If that doesn't do it... there are additional filters available for download that might have what you need: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/i...splaylang%3den -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "BlueCarp" wrote in message ...
