How to Convert Docx to Wps

Microsoft Works can open Microsoft Word files with the DOC extension; however, it cannot open files with the new DOCX extension for Word 2007. If you have Microsoft Word 2007, the easiest way to convert a DOCX file to WPS (Microsoft Works format) is to open the DOCX file with Word 2007, save it in DOC (Word 97/2000/2002) or RTF (rich text) format, open it in Microsoft Works and save it in WPS format. If not, there are a few alternate methods that you can try.
