I have created a document using Microsoft Works and sent it, as an email attachment to someone. But he can't open it. I am not sure what a .wps files means. How can I change it to a word file, that he shouldn't have problems with ?

He says that he has Microsft Works, the same as I do. If I send this attachment to myself, I can open it by saving it to my desktop and then double clicking on it. I'm not sure what is going wrong here !

If he has Works it may be an earlier or later version than yours and may be having compatibility issues. Try saving the file as a .doc file and sending it again.
As far as I can see your friend might have version 9 of M/S Works and yours may be an earlier version. If so has, he can d/l and install a free viewer/converter here

Isn't there a plain text version that doesn't depend on what he has at his end ?
Some information here that may be of help?

Why not try sending him the document using Wordpad as an .rtf file?

I have tried everything but nothing works. Its about time that the 'net got around this problem of formats and software. You should just be able to send a simple document file and let the PC work it out, not all this faffing about with files types. When I put petrol in my car, I don't have to look in the bloody handbook, in order to start the engine.

I have now copied what was in the Microsoft Works file, straight into the body of a new email. I only used Works in the first place, so that I could edit and use bold, underline, etc.

Thanks to everybody !
