How to Open a File Extension Ending in WPS

Microsoft Works Word Processor saves files in a .wps file extension format. Works Word Processor is a basic word processing program that is similar to Microsoft Word, but has fewer features and functions. Many people with Microsoft Office do not have Works, which makes opening .wps difficult. Works files are not compatible with most word processing software. However, there are a couple of ways to open a .wps file. Although some formatting may be slightly different, the file will appear as it normally would in your preferred word processing program.
