I've been using Windows 98 and have many files in .wps format. Is there a way
to re-format them in Windows XP to be readable?
 
Your .wps files are created by Works, which will run as well under Windows
XP as under Windows 98, but you have to install it.

I disagree. I have Office Pro 2000 running under XP and I can't open wps
extension files. Is there a wps to doc conversion utility out there
somewhere?

I don't see how you disagree. I said that Works (which produced the .wps
files) will run under Windows XP. Nowhere was Word mentioned (by me or the
OP). In fact, questions about Works per se are OT in this NG, but the OP
didn't mention Works or conversions. I suspected that the OP thought that
the files were somehow magically produced by Windows, unaware that they were
created in Works.

The header is "Can I convert .wps to .doc?" Your answer said to install "it"
without saying what "it" was. I assumed you meant installing Word.

If you know which Works version created the files you can install the
appropriate converter - most of them are linked from the downloads page of
my web site.

You're right. I have a regrettable tendency to ignore subject lines when
answering questions.
