.WPS file

NO£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡
The .wps file was edited by the Software WPS office . It is a work of
Kingsoft In China.
You should have a wps reader to open the file.
of If you trust me. You may send me the file and i convert it to .doc .

hey,
im trying to open a *.wps file that just has text in it, which i hear is a
works file. I have dumb Windows Office XP, and went to their site and
installed the 13 meg file converter add-in(totally worthless btw). It
wont
stinking open. when i try to open it with microsoft word it says i need
to
install a converter, so i click yes and then it wants the stupid xp cd
(PROPLUS.MSI) which i put in and browse to that stupid file...and it gibs.
it says its not the right file for the job. BAH!
what can i open the dumb *.wps file with? i just need to open it and save
the text as a normal document.

Actually - proplus.msi is an office file - not windows. Try installing
office CD at this point - not windows co.

have fun

Sometimes you have to poke around and try selecting different folders. When
you get the right one, the proplus.msi file should be visible. Select the
folder, not the file. Click OK.

hmmm. yeah, but the actual proplus file is just in the core directory. i
browse to it and select the actual file in the install program as well. is
it somewhere else on the cd as well?

Which version of Microsoft Office are you using?

Aaron, I've never been able to select the file directly when faced with a
similar prompt and have it install successfully. I've had to backtrack to
select the folder the file resides in. If it's the root folder (core
directory as you call it), then I would select the drive's letter and leave
it at that.

Another way to tackle this problem would be to run setup again. Use the
Add/Remove Components option from the setup screen. Drill down to convertors
and filters and select them to be added to your Office installation.
