The .wps file was produced by Microsoft Works, and to my knowledge, only Works
will open it. If you can find a copy somewhere, open it and save as .txt or
.rtf in order to be able to save the content. The formatting will be mostly
lost, but you’ll have the content that can be opened by AOO; then you can
reformat it if desired.

Don't seem to have a problem opening spreadsheets from win XP.
Have not been able to open wordprocessing docs...XP doc has .wps and after copying to flash drive and trying to open on laptop the .wps changes to Window Media Player and doc will not open.
Am I not following the right path?

There are a number of entries in Google on how to open such a file. The
ones I saw depend on another Microsoft program, like Word. One of them
said to
open the file in a Word document, or as I understand it, start a Word
document program, and then select OPEN (if that's the command) and then
open the .wps
file as if it were a regular Word file, and it will. Maybe this would
work in one of the many editors or word processor files in
Linux--wouldn't hurt to try.
There is also in Google a file translate routine from some outfit.
Unless the file is super confidential, you could just post a copy to
them and they would send it
back in some format you could read. (I'm sure the translate function is
automated--nobody would have time to read all the stuff they get sent!)
