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.
Does Word Viewer read those files? If the documents aren't to complex, you can always cut 'n paste between WV and OO.
Here's another possibility. It's a Works to Word conversion utility. Once they're in Word format, OO should be able to handle them.
Unfortunately you need a copy of MS word for this one. <sigh> Vendor lock in, it's just so...
Are you certain? Word isn't listed as a requirement. The page just says it works with certain Word versions, presumably not older ones. Since it's a free download, why not give it a try?
I will give it a try. The wording seems to preclude stand alone use. You open Word, and use the file open function in it to import the document. No mention of filtering it first, so I assume the program hooks into Word. I do appreciate your looking into this. Mike
