Some versions of Word will open some versions of these Works files; for others a converter may be needed.
One is available as the file WP6RTF.EXE from Microsoft. Go to the Microsoft Office main site and search using the words "works to word converter" (without the quotes) and various locations for older converters no longer available should pop up.
You can also get the Microsoft Word Viewer 2003 (search like above but for "word viewer 2003") and open the file in that. Then, select the entire file and press Control-C to copy and open another word processor (e.g., the OpenOffice.org suite word processor) and with the blank document active press Control-V to copy to that document. Much of the formatting should remain intact if you do this but, in some cases, some reformatting may be necessary.

System Info for File Extension .WPS
FILExt has been given permission to display the file extension database produced
by the Associate
This! program. Some of that data has already been included into the main
FILExt database; but, not all. Those entries which have not yet been incorporated
are shown below in the hope that they will be of some use. Data
collected by FILExt on registered file extensions from user systems is
also in the display. Be aware this is raw data which may require further research
on your part to fully understand. In particular, look at the Program ID. Often
a company will put the program's name into the short ID that Windows uses to
open registered file extensions. If that's not the case, look at the complete
path to the EXE file. Often, programs will install themselves into directories
that give either the program or company name. The program name itself may also
be used as the EXE file name. These listings are particularly important since
they represent listings that are in actual use by users who have sumbitted
data to FILExt and therefore these listings can point you to the most likely
candidate should there be multiple entries in the FILExt main database.

General Info
- If the extension you are looking for is of the form .??_ the file is likely a compressed file and part of an install routine. When the install program runs it will expand the file and replace the underscore with the proper letter for the file type.
- If the file is sent as an audio file with any three-character extension it may be a dictation file where the extension is the dictator's initials; playable by BCB Voice Systems software (see ??? extension). The file could likewise be a dictation file in TrueSpeech format. Use Windows Sound Recorder and/or Media Player to play these back.
- If the extension you are looking for has a number at the end or is only a number and there were no results consider entering the same extension format using zero or one as some programs produce numbered split files but when the split can be extensive (e.g., .000-.999) only the first entry is in the database.
