Any idea how to open a .wps file

2004-08-16 Thread Matt Falvey
Hi, I have been sent a family tree document with an ending .wps, does 
anyone know if any of the standard applications on an iMac are capable 
of opening it?


I have tried to get the person to resend it as either an RTF or PDF but 
they are not computer savvy and I know very little about window to try 
and direct them.


If the iMac apps are not likely to open it could SKS who has the 
ability to open and return it, do it for me if I forward it to them?


Thanks

Matt Falvey

Hi Matt

My guess would be that it's a Word Processing File, or a Word Perfect File.
Actually on googling it appears it is a Microsoft Works file.
You could try importing it into AppleWorks or if you have it Microsoft Word.

If you don't have either, or it doesn't work, contact me off list and I can
convert it to something you should be able to read if that helps.

Kind Regards
Daniel

It is as Daniel said a MS Works file. If you are still having
problems opening it you can send it to me, I should be able to open
it in MS Office I have installed on my PC and convert it into a Mac
readable document for you.
