I recently had to get xp reinstalled on my pc. I now
cannot open any of my files because I lost MS Works. My pc was returned to me with Excel and Word etc but these can't read them. I also lost my virus protecter among other things. I have no cd's and the store i bought from is closed. Where do go from here?? |

Wait till the store opens? There just isn't a whole lot you can do when a
system was reinstalled, and you don't have the CD's. "finfox" wrote in message ... I recently had to get xp reinstalled on my pc. I now cannot open any of my files because I lost MS Works.

Depends on which version of Word/Office you have. If you have Office 2000 or Office XP,
you can run setup from the CD again, opt to add/remove components, and then add the text convert for Works, and your Works DOCUMENTS will open in Word. Then save them in the Word file format so you won't have to convert them each time you open them. If that's too complicated for you, or if you don't have your Office or Word CD to run the setup, you can download the Word text converter for Works at: http://tinyurl.com/mj73 The simple instructions for download and install are on the page Overview The Works 6.0 Converter converts word processor documents created in Microsoft Works 6.0 to Microsoft Word and other versions of Works. -- T.C.
