I've just found the solution - a link on Microsoft's website where you can install a converter for Works format to Word format:

Thought I'd share the info ![]()
Hi,
I just received an attached file through my email in .wps format. I have discovered that this is associated with 'Works' software which I do not have. I have tried opening it with Word but it comes up in weird characters.
Is there a special trick I can use or a plug-in I can install? (I am using Windows XP Pro and Office 2002.)
If necessary I can ask them to send the file in a different format, but as it is a description of a potential job, I'd prefer not to.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Annabel ![]()
