[Free Download Microsoft Works Converter 6 9 For Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit
Kody Coste
I recall downloading Doxilllion into a laptop (sadly now bust) and it did convert Works wps files. My problem is I have several years of family history research written up ready to print which have photographs inserted into the pages and may have to upgrade my desktop and am uncertain if I can transfer these files in a way they will still open, can be edited further or new sections inserted without having to do the work all over again. I have a disc with Office 2010 which I am told will do this but I understand it re-formatts.

Have 100s of Works 4.5 documents and spreadsheets to convert to Word/Excel.
I downloaded the file conversion but still have to open each doc, save as version 97-2003 then open the 97-2003 doc and save it to Office 2010 version.
I also am trying to convert hundreds of wps files to doc or docx format. Converting each individually is not a feasible option. I have read that sites like zamzar are not secure. Is there any other way that you can convert in mass, securely?
Hi, i followed every step of your detailed instructions. I have corverter 6.9 on my desktop. BUT when I double click on the wps. document, it DOES not open the dialog that you describe on STEP 3. so, please can you let me know WHAT to do next.
Thanks so much.

Most important, make sure EVERY word process is actually turned off, including those in the background that tend to run even 30 seconds after you turn of the last word file. The same goes for Outlook if you use Word for writing e-mails.
If you are gettings a bunch of meaningless characters in amongst some readable text, then it means that the document is in another format. Read through the other comments in this article. There is a link to the MS Works 4 converter, use that instead, then open the document from Office and save it into word format.
I have a 4 year old HP laptpp which came with Win 7. and Works. I used it with a Galaxy Note 8.1. which recognises wsp.. Now I have bought a Galaxy Tab S2 , 9.7. This does not recognise Works docs, wsp,and so I am having to convert all my wsp files on the HP using Save as, to docx.Can I automate this or mst I do it one by one?
I am a dummy with this type of thing. I need to convert an old works spreadsheet to Excel so I can move it to a new computer that does not have works. This spreadsheet has lots of formulas. There is a LibreOffice program on the computer but most of the ladies at the church that uses the office computer likes Microsoft Excel/Word. Our problem is that we do not have internet yet. We are a very small church and have not had a need for internet. Can you walk me thru the steps. I do not know anything about LibreOffice. I am willing to try to convert because I know it will be hard to redo all the formulas. If you can will you email me the steps to my computer at home. Also if I will need to try the converter first can you tell me how to download it to a Memory Card. Any help you can give me will help.
Microsoft Works is a discontinued productivity software suite developed by Microsoft and sold from 1987 to 2009. Its core functionality includes a word processor, a spreadsheet and a database management system. Later versions have a calendar application and a dictionary while older releases include a terminal emulator. Works is available as a standalone program and as part of a namesake home productivity suite. Because of its low cost ($40 retail, or as low as $2 OEM),[2] companies frequently preinstalled Works on their low-cost machines. Works is smaller, less expensive, and has fewer features than contemporary major office suites such as Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Works originated as MouseWorks, an integrated spreadsheet, word processor, and database program, designed for the Macintosh by ex-Apple employee Don Williams and Rupert Lissner.[4] Williams planned to emulate the success of AppleWorks, a similar product for Apple II computers. Bill Gates and his Head of Acquisitions, Alan M. Boyd, convinced Williams in 1986[5] to license the product to Microsoft instead.[6] Initially intended as a scaled-down version of Office for small laptops like TRS-80 Model 100, which was developed by Microsoft and sold by Radio Shack, Microsoft Works evolved as a popular product in its own right as laptops grew in power.
In 1991, Microsoft issued the first Windows version of Works, titled MS Works for Windows 2.0. System requirements include Windows 3.0, a 286 CPU, and 1MB of memory. Works 3.x in 1993 requires Windows 3.1, a 386 CPU, and 4MB of memory. Subsequent releases are for Windows 95 and up, and the final version is Works 9.x in 2007, requiring Windows XP or Vista, 256MB of memory, and a Pentium 4 CPU.
Through version 4.5a, Works uses a monolithic program architecture whereby its word processor, spreadsheet and database documents run in windows of the same program interface. This results in a small memory and disk footprint, which enables it to run on slower computers with requirements as low as 6 MB of RAM and 12 MB free disk space. It also provides a mini version of Excel for DOS systems as a DOS version of that program is not available.[8] Works 2000 (Version 5.0) switches to a modular architecture which opens each document as a separate instance and uses the print engine from Internet Explorer.
Version 9.0, the final version, is available in two editions: an advertisement-free version, available in retail and for OEMs, and an ad-supported free version (Works SE) which was available only to OEMs for preinstallation on new computers.[9]
In late 2009, Microsoft announced it would discontinue Works and replace it with Office 2010 Starter Edition,[10][11] although it replaced only the word processor and spreadsheet components but not the calendar or the database.
Microsoft Works has built-in compatibility for the Microsoft Office document formats (.mw-parser-output .monospacedfont-family:monospace,monospace.DOC and .XLS), including, but not limited to, the ability of the Works Word Processor to open Microsoft Word documents and the ability of the Works Spreadsheet to open Microsoft Excel workbooks. In the final version (Version 9.0), the Windows 95-era icons and toolbars are not updated to make them consistent with later application software.
While its utility for larger organizations is limited by its use of incompatible proprietary native .WKS (spreadsheet), .WDB (database), and .WPS (word processor) file formats, the simplicity of integrating database/spreadsheet data into word processor documents (e.g., mail merge) allow it to remain an option for some small and home-based business owners. Version 4.5a is particularly noted in this respect.[citation needed] The database management system, while a "flat file" (i.e., non-relational) allows the novice user to perform complex transformations through formulas (which use standard algebraic syntax and can be self-referential) and user-defined reports that can be copied as text to the clipboard. A 'Works Portfolio' utility offers Microsoft Binder-like functionality.
By installing the 2007 Office System Compatibility Pack, the Works Word Processor and Spreadsheet can import and export Office Open XML document formats, although they will be converted rather than being operated upon natively. The Works Calendar can store appointments, integrates with the Windows Address Book, as well as Address Book's successor, Windows Contacts, and can remind users of birthdays and anniversaries. It supports importing and exporting iCalendar (.ICS) files. It does not support subscribing to iCalendar files or publishing them online via WebDAV. Up to version 8, using the Works Task Launcher, the calendar and contacts from Windows Address Book could be synchronized with portable devices. In Works 9.0, the sync capability has been removed.[12]
Microsoft (sometime in the past) made file format conversion filters for Microsoft Word for opening and saving to Works Word Processor format.[13][14] Microsoft Office Excel could import newer Works Spreadsheets because the newer Works Spreadsheet also used the Excel format but with a different extension (*.xlr).[15] There is an import filter for older Works 2.0 spreadsheet format (*.wks);[16] however it may be disabled in the registry by newer Microsoft Office Service packs.[17] As far as Works Spreadsheet 3.x/4.x/2000 (*.wks) and Works database (any version of *.wdb) files were concerned, in the past, Microsoft did not provide an import filter for Excel or Access. There are third party converters available for converting these filetypes to Excel spreadsheets: for database files (*.wdb), there was also a donateware utility;[18] for spreadsheet (*.wks) and database (*.wdb) files, a commercial solution was available (at least apparently in 2008).[19]
A general C++ library, libwps,[20][21] can extract text from many different versions of Microsoft Works, this library is used by Collabora Online and LibreOffice. NeoOffice (no longer active in 2024) also used the library.[22]
One commercially available solution for converting to and from Microsoft Works files on the Macintosh platform in 2016 was the MacLinkPlus product from DataViz. Free online conversion services in 2016 were also available.[23]
In 1997, Microsoft introduced Microsoft Home Essentials, a home productivity package sold as a low-price suite that a Chicago Tribune review described as "one of the best bargains ever offered."[26] Home Essentials evolved to become Works Suite beginning with the 1999 edition, taking the namesake of Works. A slimmer version of the suite, Works Deluxe, was offered for that year but was discontinued thereafter.
As Works Suite's programs were developed separately and sold individually, each has a unique look and feel. They are integrated by a task plane, which picks the appropriate program for the user to accomplish each task. Works Suite includes additional programs such as FoneSync in 2001 and PowerPoint Viewer beginning in 2003. Later editions prompt users to upgrade to featured versions of the programs at a discount.
