WPS Files

Posted: 05-03-2004, 04:20 AM
I had several word documents saved to a CD and for some reason, one of these
documents changed to a WPS file. What is a WPS file and with what program
can I open it?
Thank You, Sara

Hello
If I'm not mistaken, .wps is a WordPerfect file. Try
opening Word 97 then use the File: Open menu item to
locate and open the .wps file.
I know this works (done it myself) but may not if the WP
version is later than Word 97. Try it anyway.
Oh, if it works, you'll need to save the file as a Word 97
document otherwise you'll have to repeat the opening
procedure.

What kind of program do I need to open this type file. I can't find my Works
on my computer and also I can't find notepad. Don't know what happened to
them. I no longer have the CD to reinstall.

Try this:
Push Start button
Click on "Run"
Type "notepad.exe"

Does that open notepad?
