Opening Works documents

Post by janie »

I have a new laptop to which I have added Open Office. But, all my recipes on my old computer are in .wps files. I am advised that OO can open .wps files but I haven't been able to do it. Can someone tell me the process?

Try LibreOffice.

You can install near Apache OpenOffice on Windows (or: there is Portable version of the LO, too)

Is there a way one can convert a works file (wps) to the usable Open Office ODT file format.

Yes. You can do it with LibreOffice or with online file converters.
