I'm looking for an utility to covert MSWorks .WPS files into something that I can import into OOo. My inlaws had to get a new system and it came with OOo installed, but OOo (2.0) doesn't open works stuff, and I'd like to not have to install MSWorks.
IF you still have access to the windoz box, export the wks files as csv and then import them in OO.
Old system had bum power supply. I was going to image the disk onto DVD's for them, but I wanted to convert the files without re-installing the original (offending :) software. I did a Google search and found some stuff about converting from one format to another but the utilities seems to require MS-Word for the filters, which is actually self defeating for my purpose.
