Convert doc to wps

Conversion of doc file format to wps file format ^beta

Search for doc to wps converter or software able to handle these file types.

Found 2 different conversion types using the same filename extensions.

Microsoft Word should still support older Microsoft Works version 6-9 file format (.wps) and allows saving them to other document formats.

Which means using Word is they first choice for this type of conversion. Some features exclusive to new version of Word (like formatting) may not be saved properly though, but mostly there should be no trouble with this conversion using Microsoft Word.

For versions of MS Word prior 2003, you will need to install special plugin from Microsoft called Microsoft Works 6–9 File Converter that allows users to open, work and save Works documents.

If you do not have access to Microsoft Word, you may want to try to get old Microsoft Works installation CDs. These were commonly bundled with new laptops and computers back then, so you may even have one at home.

Unfortunately, open source word processors like LibreOffice Writer or OpenOffice.org Writer do not support saving to WPS format and can only open it.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned doc to wps. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
