opening a works file with word 2000

[ships]

I have recently upgraded to windowsxp and from works to
word. I'm having difficulty opening some of the files
that were saved in works with word. The properties of a
file for example is auto repair.wps and the icon next to
this file seeking it through file open is a black W and
it's a wps file.
The other day I went to word, open and clicked on a file
saved in wps (old system) and opened it and resaved in
doc format.
Very confused and need help.
Thanks
Doug
