does anyone know how to open a *.wps file? can you help me?

[abracadabra1]

hey there fellas. my daughter wrote her homework up at school while waiting for me to pick her up (i was voting) and saved it to a disk. the only problem is that the file is a *.wps file. i have word and corel, but neither can handle this file.
i tired opening w/ notebook and that didn't help much either.
please help!
thx

Sounds like a MS Works file.

teheh i guess i forgot to ask if anyone had works and if so could they open the file and copy paste the text as a regular e-mail.
i would highly appreciate it doods.

Can't you just open it as text and remove all the formatting? If it's not long it shouldn't be hard at all. I don't have Works or I'd say I'll do it...

yah i tried, but was unable to sift through it.
my daughter is off to bed now. i told her i would fix it for her 🙁

Office 2000 seems to reecognize the file. Wanna send it over? What format do you want it back in? Word 97? RTF? TXT?

[abracadabra1]

sure! would really appreciate it windogg.
you can send it back as a word file.
i have office2000 too, but when i chose to open the file it just gave me a whole lot of gibberish and some column breaks- ugh!

 

[abracadabra1]

do i just send it to the e-mail in your profile or somewhere else?

I have a standard install of Office2k and also the install CDs.
I'll also be up all night doing my stupid linear algebra pset.
If you wanna send it to me, I can try to convert it.
I'd also suggest checking out the MS webpage to see if there's a converter update???

My e-mail is way@mit.edu

Toodles!

Funny thing is now I'm in the same boat. I just received a WPS file of a term paper that I'm supposed to read.

Hope Word '97 can do it, else I'm SOL until I get home tonight.

HA! Opened it perfectly.
