I have a large number of files created in works and they do not import into
Word as anything legible. The person who created them thought he was using
word at the time. They have the wps extension and the original works app is
not on his computer or mine. I tried using the wps extension when opening
the files, but they still look like garbage. I'd like to at least be able to
open them and save them in a format he can use - probably as rtf files.

Every version of Word has converters for some versions of Works. If your
version of Word doesn't have the right converter for the version of Works
used to create these documents, try downloading additional converters from
