Right away when I tried it, it opened up in my microsoft word free trail. Please tell me I don't have to pay another $150 dollars after all this money I spent on this computer...please.
Got a tip for us?

Can I open up a MS Word document from iWork?

Erm... To continue using it after the 15 or 30 days or whatever the trial is? Yes. But there are other (free) alternatives for a word-like program. NeoOffice and OpenOffice are some.
Could you elaborate on your question a little? It's a kind of confusing. Especially since the title of the thread doesn't seem to connect with the contents at all. Thanks.

it is possible to open word documents using pages (part of the iwork bundle). just right click (control click) on the document and choose open with>Pages. it is possible that you and only have the trial of pages as well depending on if you bought it with you computer originally.
hope this helps

What I am saying is I bought iwork preinstalled after seeing I could make word documents with it. Can I open .wps documeents with it too?
It's possible to open a Word document in TextEdit, but I'm not sure about the some of the formatting and such.
Why not just try?
It's not like anything bad could happen. I have never tried a .wps file myself.I just tried opening a .wps document actually and it wouldn't let me either in text edit or pages.
What is the WPS format used for? Mine always end in .doc. I'm no Word power user, of course, but I don't think I've encountered a *.wps file.
M$ Works is what they bundle with cheap PCs to try and convince buyers that an "office suite" is included.
