I need help opening a document in Word.

I have a document on a disk, it is a letter with a .wps file extension. I need to open the file to print it, but I currently have Office XP, including word, and it will not open properly due to the differant file extension. Is there any ay to fix this
 
.wps seems to be a MS Works file. Word XP does list it in my computer, but maybe the MS Works filter is not installed in yours...

Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove, find MS Office XP, hit Change.
Select Add/Remove Features.
Open the Shared Features tree, Converers & Filters, Text Converters.
The MS Works filter should be somewhere in there...
 
I am pretty sure the convertors are installed. But when i try to open it I get a file conversion box that pops up and shows a portion of the document and tells me to pick the encoding option that makes the document readable, but none of them do
 
I am still having trouble. I even resorted to installing Works 3.0, hoping it would have a bertter shot of opening it. But it said it could not open conversion files. So I am up shlt crick without a paddle
