I have received a file from a novice computer user in France called: Document sans titre.wps Does anyone know what the extension .wps means? Look suspiciously like a virus but the sender has only been on the internet for a week or so. Thanks Lloyd --

Thanks to those who replied so quickly. It appears to be a MSWorks file. Unfortunately my MS Word will not open it nor any other word processor I have. My solution seems to be contacting my friend and asking him to do a Save As in RTF. Now to explain that in French to a novice!! Thanks again.
