The .wps extension indicates that the file is a Works word processing file.
It's quite possible that it was created in a recent version of Works for
which Word 7.0 does not have a converter. If you want to buy Works, you can
get it very inexpensively. Better still, if you buy Works Suite 2004, you'll
get Word 2002 and five other MS products. The SRP is $99.99, but the Office
Depot catalog lists it for $50, and there's a $15 mail-in rebate currently
in effect.
