Word 2007 - Works converter appears to be broken by latest updates
Until recently I've been able to open old MS Works (.wps) files in Word 2007, but since installing the latest Windows updates on 11 April I now get a message saying that I need a newer version of the conversion tool, with a link to go and download it.
I tried this, but the only file I can find is dated 2007. I tried installing it anyway, but it makes no difference. I've also tried re-enabling the feature through the Control Panel, but it still makes no difference.
The latest Windows updates included a security update for this tool, and I'm guessing that is what caused the problem. Does anyone have a solution, please, or will I have to wait for MS to notice the problem and hopefully produce a patch?
