If I understand you correctly you must have been using Microsoft Works on your older system. That saves files in .wps format.
I am surprised that Microsoft Word 2010 cannot open those files. Word always had the capability to open Works files, but not the other way round.
If you open Word 2010 then navigate to a .wps file, what happens when you select it and try top open it?
What is the exact error message?

I've been using the Microsoft wordprocessor a free application that came pre-installed with the computer I purchase in late 2006. Recently I bought an new upgraded windows 7 PC but it doesn't have the wordprocessor program preinstalled and Microsoft office 2010 can't open or read these (wps)files.
Now, over the years I have made hundreds of these type of file documents. Many have important personal and irreplacable information in them. I've spent time at length trying to get help from Microsoft but to no avail. Weather it was by phone or e-mail, the people at Microsoft were of no help what so ever. Some even tried to tell me that Microsoft Office 2010 would open these files with no problem. This as everyone knows is not true. I have Office 2010 and if it worked, as some Microsoft CSR's have said, then I wouldn't be having all these issues with the wordprocessor files
Does anyone know of any program that I can use to open, view and read these files and/or transfer them to Microsoft office 2010?
