Oops! What To Do With .WPS File

[jparker402]

Looking for an old video on a bunch of flash drives, I came across a document (that I believe has photos embedded) that I wrote after visiting the U.S. Southwest. I did it on a MS machine and I believe using Works. At any rate, it is a .wps file now. And I can't get it to open on my Mac with Pages, and I am confused about what I do need to open it. Read one article that said it would open in iCloud (somehow), but I can't make it open there. And I thought there was a built-in way to convert it to a .pdf, but now I don't see how. Directions please!

".wps" extension denotes a Microsoft Works word processor file.

My recommendation is that you download the FREE "LibreOffice" app:

Download LibreOffice | LibreOffice - Free and private office suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft

Download free office suite for Windows, macOS and Linux. Microsoft compatible, based on OpenOffice, and updated regularly.

www.libreoffice.org

It has the ability to open all sorts of older files, and I predict it will be able to open the .wps file that you have.

And did I mention that its... free?

Thank you, Fisherman! I will check.

Didn't get far into LibreOffice yet. A friend found that the online converter at Freeconvert.com went from wps to pdf very quickly and easily (and free). That solved my immediate need. Will continue to explore.
