If Word cannot open the file, it could be that the Works file is from an even older version of Works like version 4. In the Open dialog box, make sure to choose All Files in the file type drop-down box. Works 6-9 File Converter - ĭownload the 6-9 first, install it and then open Word and go to File – Open. In any case, there are two converters, but you don’t necessarily need to install both.
However, some versions of Word will prompt you to download the converters.
If you try to open the WPS file in Word without first installing the converters, it probably won’t work.
