Follow-up. Callum managed to get his files converted: <quote> Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you very much for your help and advice about retrieving files with a .wps extension. I was still able to access Works on my old computer and was thus able (over the last two days) laboriously to convert all my .wps files to Word .doc files. My joy was complete when I was able to access them with OpenOffice. Hooraaay! </quote> Welcome to OOo Callum :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
