WPS-file can´t be read?

[Huib]

Hi forum,
I am using Office2000 with ME
I reveived a WPS-file (Works).
I can´t read it although i tried it via the opening
dialogue of MS-Word by selecting file-type wps.

Who can help?

Thanks

Do you know what version of Works was used to create the .wps file?
Works word processing files all have a .wps extension, but the format of
..wps files has changed in successive versions of Works. You could
download and install the Works 6.0 converter from
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318244 and then try to open the file
again.

Hallo,
I don´t know the version but as the person has a recent PC
i supposed it would be the latest one.
I dowloaded your proposal and it was bingo.
Why forms these updates not part of the offical Office
updates?

Many thanks - problem solved.

Regards
Huib
