File conversion query

[greeneyedmonster]

Can anyone help me? I have 2 WPS files on a memory stick and I'm unable to open them on my laptop. Does anyone know how I can convert them to Microsoft Word or Notepad?

Sorry if my terminology is dodgy but IT is not my strong point!

If you can bring them up on your screen, try this:
Right-click on one of the files.
Dropdown menu appears.
Left-click on properties.
Properties appears.
On general tab note "Opens with", and there's a button marked Change to the right.
Click the Change button and choose which program you want to change to.
Click your chosen program and you should be home and dry.

Cheers for that. My OH is busy watching the footie but I'll get him on the case ASAP :-)

...I forgot to mention:
when you've clicked your chosen program, click OK at the bottom of the page.

Unless you have a copy of Works, or another program that can open wps files, then attempting to follow bookbinders instructions will be pointless.
