I have a Microsoft Works file I'd like to send to someone asking for a Word file.
Will they be able to open it? Yes, I know this is a newbe question.

Thanks for you help
Dave

See if this helps on either end:

More recent versions of Microsoft Word can open the Microsoft Works word processor files, assuming that the converters were not excluded during the Word installation. To open a Works word processor document from Word, open Word up, select the File menu, then Open. In the 'Open File' dialog, click on the 'Files Of Type' drop-down list and change the file type from 'Microsoft Word document (DOC)' to 'Microsoft Works word processor document (WPS)' or whatever similar item is in the list.
