Home > Search converters: wps to doc
The WPS file format is very similar to the DOC format, it too is a text document but it is created with Microsoft Works Word Processor; and does not include advanced formatting options and macros that a Word document may contain. Most versions of Microsoft Word can open a WPS file, as well as Microsoft Publisher. Using Zamzar it is possible to convert WPS files to a variety of other formats wps to doc (Microsoft Word Document) wps to docx (Microsoft Word 2007 Document) wps to mp3 (Compressed audio file).

First of all, latest versions of Microsoft Word (since version 2010) actually support documents (.wps) from Microsoft Works and can simply open these documents and re-save to other formats, including .doc files-
If you only have access to some previous version of Microsoft Office, you will have to download and install special Microsoft Works 6-9 File Converter that acts as plugin and allows users to open and work with Microsoft Works documents.
Open source word processors such as LibreOffice Writer or OpenOffice.org Write also may still support Microsoft Works formats and thus achieve wps to doc conversion, either directly or through some middle format.
A viable alternative presents itself in 3rd party document converters like the ABC Amber Text Converter, so these utilities may be worth a shot if you have trouble convert wps to doc.
Last option would be to get your hands on some old version of Works. It was commonly bundled together with laptops and new computers so you may have some old Works installation CD. Works allows users saving documents either as .rtf or .doc file, which is all you need.

However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.

How can I open Microsoft Works wordprocessor files (.wps)?
The basic OpenOffice.org does not support Microsoft Works, so you should convert a .wps file to a file compatible with OpenOffice.org. The following list provides ways to convert .wps files to compatible OpenOffice.org files:
- If you have Microsoft Works, open the .wps file in Microsoft Works and resave it as rich text format (.rtf) file.
- Use Microsoft Word, resave it as .doc file.
- Use an online converter service such as Zamzar.
- Use any of these OpenOffice.org variants which include libwps (see note below): OxygenOffice Professional, NeoOffice, Ubuntu, Your Office Suite, LibreOffice, or any other variant based on ooo-build
- Use the libwps command-line wps2html or wps2sxw converters. (OpenOffice.org can open either .html or .sxw.)
Note: The libwps library was designed to allow OpenOffice.org, KWord, Abiword, and similar programs to import Microsoft Works wordprocessor documents. Though available since early 2007, the mainstream OpenOffice.org has not incorporated the code (issue #8938).
