I had a free trial offer from Microsoft nearly a year ago. I never created
one document on it. My then, very old Windows XP couldn't support it.
I just finally managed to convert my WPS file to a doc file, using Apache Open
Office.
Now, when I attempt to open the file -- a message from Microsoft disallows it --
something like, "You are trying to use Microsoft Office,
but you don't have it." A lease offer for Office is included with their
statement.
It has taken me such a long time to access my file. It was absolutely never on
Microsoft Word.
I have the file and a backup copy of the file and they both now have
Microsoft orange blocks next to the file names.
Does Microsoft own the file extention doc ?
Can anything be done?
I tried to reach a person to help me -- they're all about signing me up for a
Word Processing Lease to solve my problem.
