Default can I convert a word document (MS 7) to a microsoft works format?

Can this be done. I have windows 7 and want to convert a word document so I
can send to daughter who only has Microsoft works.

Windows 7 is an operating system; it does not come with any version of Word
(the subject of this newsgroup) or any other word processor except WordPad
(Notepad is probably better regarded as a text editor). You can create a
file in WordPad and save it in Word .doc or RTF format.

But perhaps you mean that you also have Word 2007. If so, use Office Button
| Save As | Word 97-2003 document. I believe most recent versions of Works
can handle this format. If not, click Other Formats and choose Rich Text
Format (*.rtf).

When you use FileSaveAs, access the "Save as type:" drop down and select
Works 6 - 9 Document (*.wps)
