Unable to open Works Suite Word Documents and Spreadsheet ..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

No real XPerience with works but in excel 2000 when you go file --> open
under the file types drop down box there is a "Microsoft Works 2.0 *.wks)"
option, is this the same filetype as works spreadsheet ?

And under the same filetype dropdown box under word 2000 there is a "Works
4.0 for windows *.wps" option too.

Give is a shot

Not positive - but WORD does not provide correct encoding for opening WORKS
files. Suggest visit to Microsoft support.
