Viewing word doc's in works word processer

kenspoker

New laptop comes with works word processer.

All my old files I have saved to disc were created using various versions of windows from 97 - 2000.

Is their a quick way of converting all of them so they automatically open in works wp?

Another idea: OpenOffice (its free)

or install your old version of office

There are converters that allow you to open Works docs with Word but not the other way around?! My first PC came with Works and I had loads of problems as my mates could never read my Works word pro attachments.

My current machine came with Works Suite which comes with Word included, much better IMO. I could never understand the point of Works.

I agree that Open Office is an excellent free alternative.

Can you open a Word doc in Works anyway by,

Right clicking on a word .doc and choose open with, Choose program
Works Wp and putting a tick in Always Use this program to open this kind of file.

I think as its been so long since I did this with a word doc.!!!
