Locate the file in Windows Explorer and change the
extension from .wps to .doc and open it in Word.

Brilliant!:( But it won't work. Changing the filename extension does not
change the file format

Word recognises the internal file format of documents and this one will
always be a Works file and only if Word has the correct converter installed
will it open a Works file. Some of the older converters are linked from the
downloads page of my web site.
