Converting MS Works text to MS Word

[chakka35]

sir.prize or anyone else who can help, I have now discovered that the original text that I cannot open in Word was produced on a MS Works word processor. Word claims to have all sorts of text converters for dealing with this sort of problem but (a) I can't find them, and (b) It doesn't tell me how to use it if find the Works/Word converter. All tips gratefully received.

Open Word, select File then Open.

In the "Open" window, at the bottom, select Files of Type.

Listed there should be a whole load of formats, including MS works.

Select MS Works, then the Works document you want to open, then it should appear in Word.

Note I have not done this but think this is the way it should work.
