Hi OpenOffice.org,

Just wanted to ask you this - will your software help me read work I had previously madewith Microsoft Works word processor? Thanks for reading this.

hello.
yes. openoffice supports importing microsoft files, but if you need to
export as newer format of microsoft office program like docx xlsx pptx
etc, you need to install libreoffice.
because openoffice only exports as microsoft office 2003 format, like
doc, ppt or xls.

hope that help, God bless you!

I believe the question was about Microsoft Works files, not Office. I
don't know that OO can open Works files.

Apache OpenOffice does not import/read Microsoft Works files.
LibreOffice can import/read _some_ Microsoft Works files.

Neither office suite will save to a Microsoft Works file format.

Chris;

Unfortunately no. Apache OpenOffice (AOO) does not support the Microsoft
Works word processor format natively. You do have a couple of options
though. If you still have access to a Microsoft Works installation you
can export them from the .wps format to .doc which AOO will open;
convert them using an online converter, www.zamzar.com says it will
concert from .wps to .odt which is the native file format for AOO.

Also I believe that LibreOffice does have the capability to open .wps files.
