I have an e-copy of a rule set in .'wps files. Very old MS Works, I think. Would like to get them into some form that can be edited. Anyone here have a tool that would do the job? |

I just sent a private message; if I can help, let me know. |

.wps is an MS Works word processor file. If Blount can't help try opening it in MS Word, you might have to delete a lot of surplus lines and blank pages. |

I was able to convert it to Word; I've emailed it to you as a Word file. |

By the way, Word wouldn't open it. I was able to open it in Notepad and get _most_ of the text, but all the formatting was lost. I then tried LibreOffice, which worked like a charm. Libre opened it as an ODF file; once opened, converting it to a Word file was easy. It _looks_ like the formatting was preserved in the Word file, but not having seen the original document, I'm not sure. |

LibreOffice is awesome, and the price is pretty good, too. |

There are free .wps to .docx coverters online. |
