How can I open Microsoft Works wordprocessor files (.wps)?
The libwps library was designed to allow OpenOffice.org, KWord, Abiword, and similar programs to import Microsoft Works wordprocessor documents. Though available since early 2007, the mainstream OpenOffice.org has not incorporated the code (issue #8938). Here are some options:
- Use any of these OpenOffice.org variants which include libwps: OxygenOffice Professional, NeoOffice, Ubuntu, Your OpenOffice.org (go-oo.org), or any other variant based on ooo-build
- Use the command-line wps2html or wps2sxw converters from libwps. (OpenOffice.org can open either .html or .sxw.)
- If you have Microsoft Works, open the .wps in Microsoft Works and resave as .rtf.
- If you have Microsoft Word, use Microsoft's Works to Word converter. Then, save as .doc.
- Use an online converter service.
