hi everyone

I got a file
it is a wps file

I have been looking intensly into what software i need to open it.

I need microsoft works.
I dont have works
i got word 2003 but no works.


bascially my friend sent me this file
which i really need to view.
I just want to see if the file is working and see what written on it.

does anyone here have any ideas how i will be able to view this?

I have looked but finding a wps viewer other than works is becoming impossible

tbhanks

I take it you can't view it by opening with wordpad or notepad?
 
YEP you are right
when i open it with them

i get all jumbled long long writing
it sucks adywebb :(
 
I had a similar prob a while back, Bro's lappy has MS Works, he had a works file that he needed to send to someone.

You would think a MS works file would open in MS office wouldn't you.......:rolleyes:

Had to copy and paste it to word.
 
Right click the file, click on "Open With" and wait for the list of programs to come up then select microsoft word ;)
 
I didn't get the word option when i tried it.....

hi when i do that

i get the message "this file appears to be corrupted"



i downloaded the programme itsme said
ill install it tomorow try open it with that

i am just trying to work out if the file is actually working or not
 
Well it was just a link I quickly found, like I said, I'm not very good on computers so I just try to help out here and there even if the ideas dont work ;)
 
psd99: It's very likely the file is actually corrupted, from what I've read here.

If Open Office can't open it, ask for the file to be sent again.
