File extension WPS (.WPS) information


Windows cannot open WPS files?


If Windows is unable to open WPS files you may not have the appropriate program installed or may have a registry related error.

Format and name:

Microsoft Works Word Processor Document
Appropriate program for file extension WPS:
The WPS file format is now largely obsolete; however it was the proprietary file format of Microsoft Works word processor files. In recent years Microsoft has abandoned this file format in preference for the now standard .DOC word processor format. Whereas the Microsoft Works Word Processor was a separately designed (with limited functionality) word processor that was bundled in with the Microsoft Works discount office suite, Microsoft now bundles old versions of Microsoft Word Office with the MS Works Office Suite. Scan your system to prevent and identify association errors.


Additional comments:
WPS files should be able to be opened with MS Office Word, or with Open Office, otherwise a file converter may be needed.
