Yesterday I went to the library to download Open Office, because they supposedly have a high speed connection there. But the download took over 40 minutes, and as it was nearing completion I began closing the browser windows I had opened to kill time while waiting for the download to complete.

How can I open Microsoft Works wordprocessor files (.wps)?

The basic OpenOffice.org does not support Microsoft Works, so you should convert a .wps file to a file compatible with OpenOffice.org. The following list provides ways to convert .wps files to compatible OpenOffice.org files:

• If you have Microsoft Works, open the .wps file in Microsoft Works and resave it as rich text format (.rtf) file.
• Use Microsoft Word, resave it as .doc file.
• Use an online converter service such as Zamzar.
• Use any of these OpenOffice.org variants which include libwps (see note below): OxygenOffice Professional, NeoOffice, Ubuntu, Your Office Suite, LibreOffice, or any other variant based on ooo-build
• Use the libwps command-line wps2html or wps2sxw converters. (OpenOffice.org can open either .html or .sxw.)

Note: The libwps library was designed to allow OpenOffice.org, KWord, Abiword, and similar programs to import Microsoft Works wordprocessor documents. Though available since early 2007, the mainstream OpenOffice.org has not incorporated the code (issue #8938).
