Old Works wps files
I am setting up a new desktop for a friend which comes with Works 9 pre-installed. I have transferred a large number of documents from the old machine using Windows Easy Transfer. Many of those files have the extension wps having been created with an older version of Works (although he cannot remember which!).
Works 9 on Windows 7 cannot open those files; and the Works converters available from M$ are not supported by Windows 7! So how can I open those old wps files in Works on Windows 7? Is the only way to obtain a copy of Works/Word which will read the files and save them as .doc files (a real pain because there are hundreds of them!) Btw I have set up a virtual machine using VMPlayer to run old software on XP so I could use that as a means of conversion if push comes to shove.
Thanks for any help and advice.
