Solve : How to open MS work (that's not word) files.? |
|
Answer» Since some unknown gremlin garfed up Word for me I have downloaded Open Office.Org. This program is swell and I intend to stick with it for the duration. I will be tricked by Microsoft no more! However there is one problem that lingers: I have a number of old Microsoft WORK files that I need to convert to a format that OO.org can understand. There is a boatload of converters included with OO.org, but Work is not AMONG them. Open the MS Work Documents and Export them as MSWord 97 (*.doc) then you should be able to open or import them to the OO.org format. This would work if the OP STILL had Word....Get Go-oo: http://go-oo.org/Quote from: Broni on September 12, 2008, 08:54:01 PM Get Go-oo: http://go-oo.org/ Nice.

Are these Word (.doc) files or Works word processing files, which I believe would be .WPS files? OO will open Word files, but not .wps files. Once a Word file is opened in OO, you then save it as an .odt file. You can also try OxygenOffice: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop I know also, that Open Office 3 beta can handle M$ Office 2007 format, but I'm not sure about wps files. You may check it out.BTW GO-OO downloads for me WITHOUT a problem.Quote from: Broni on September 13, 2008, 07:31:27 PM BTW GO-OO downloads for me without a problem. Ditto... |
