How to Convert Word 2007 to Works

Microsoft Word is a part of Office.

Word 2007 provides users with a word processor. The software is included with the Microsoft Office suite of applications. If your document recipients do not have Word 2007 installed, you can convert the file to another file format, such as Microsoft Works. Works is a more lightweight word processor included in some computer manufacturer's software bundles. You can convert Word 2007 documents to Works using the "Save As" function.

Instructions

1. Load Microsoft Word 2007. Open your Word document. Click the "Microsoft Office Button" in the top-left corner of the Word window. This opens a list of options.

2. Click "Save As." A dialog window opens where you can name, convert and specify a location for the saved file.

3. Enter a name for the newly converted file in the "File name" box. In the drop-down menu below the file name, select "Works" from the list of file types.

4. Select a location on your hard drive for the converted file and click "Save." The file is converted to the Microsoft Works format and saved to the drive.
