How to Convert Works .Wps Extension to Open Office
Some word processor programs allow you to create and save file extensions that are exclusive to their program, such as the .wps format in Microsoft Works. However, they also offer other extensions for saving in universal formats that will allow for viewing, editing, modification and saving your word processor document across other word processor platforms, such as Open Office Writer.
