Request for Question Clarification by omnivorous-ga on 09 Jul 2003 09:06 PDT

Wannabeamba --

1.  Is this a document created in the Microsoft Works file format? 
This "integrated" package has database, word processing and
spreadsheet file types and there are at least 5 versions of the
program with different file types:

2.  What is the complete file name (with 3-letter file extension) that
you're trying to open?

3.  What program do you have available to try opening the file?

Best regards,

Omnivorous-GA

to omnivous-ga The program I am using is wordperfect10.  The file I
want to open is named, Group_project.wps
the file type is works
from elearn.friends.edu
I do not know what program it was sent on but emailed the author and
asked for this information.  Thank you for your help

You should be able to open (and convert to WP format) this file type
easily using MS Word 2000.  Other versions would probably do the trick
too, but I haven't tested them.

Hi, 

If MS Word didn't help, then my suggestion is: try to use some
services, converting your .wps to .pdf.

1) http://createpdf.adobe.com . Online service, supports Wordperfect
and Works. Allow to make 5 first conversions for free.
2) http://www.teamprinting.com/toolbox.asp link to "convert". Online
service. Free trial. Sends results to your e-mail.
3) http://www.neevia.com/products.htm "Neevia Document Converter Pro".
Shareware, supports Wordperfect and Works.

Good luck!
