How can I open an attached file with extension ".wps" in Word 200

[Guest]

I recieved email with an attachment. The extension is ".wps" (Works
document, I think) When I try to open the attachment, it opens my Word 2003,
but it is blank.
How do I open a Works document in Word 2003?

I have had success with simply renaming the file from filename.wps to
filename.doc and then open with word.

Tried that. It is in such a format as to be unreadable, and part is just
symbols.

I know that I can covert Word to a Works doc but I've never tried the other
direction.

Try this converter. I know it says Word 2002 but it may work.

You need the appropriate filter for the Works version that created the
files - see http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm
