the instructions below is for word 2003 but it should be similar to previous versions of word (hopefully). Anyway, this will install a file format converter so you can view wps files and then save them as a word document:\n\n(In Word) On the File menu, click Open. \nIn the Files of type list, click Works 6.0 & 7.0.\nIf you don't see this option in the list,\nInstall the file format converter as follows:\nExit all programs. \nDo one of the following:\nIf you are using Microsoft Windows 2000, double-click Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.\nIf you are using Microsoft Windows XP, double-click Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.\nIn the Currently installed programs list, click either Microsoft Office 2003 or Microsoft Office Word 2003 (depending on whether you installed Word as part of Office or as an individual program), and then click Change.\nThe Configuration Wizard opens.\n\nOn the Maintenance Mode Options page, click Add or Remove Features, and then click Next.\nIf you installed Word as part of Office, then on the Custom Setup page, select the Choose advanced customization of applications check box, and then click Next.\n\nOn the Advanced Customization page, click the plus sign (+) next to Office Shared Features. \nClick the plus sign (+) next to Converters and Filters, and then click the plus sign (+) next to Text Converters.\nClick the arrow next to Works for Windows 7.0, and then click Run from My Computer.\nThe file format converter is installed.\n\nIn the File name box, enter the name of the file that you want to convert, and then click Open.\nOn the File menu, click Save As.\nIn the Save As dialog box, make any changes that you want in the File name box, click the file format that you want in the Save as type list, and then click Save.

There is a system restore on your computer you can restore it to a time that had it the way it used to be (I hope I am clear with this). I have had to do that as well and it worked for me. If not then you need to clean your system and go to windows online and there are some forums there with anwsers there that will help its full of windows geeks and they are helpfull as well with this. If you cant restore this then you may have to delete it and reload it on the computer. I am sorry I am new to windows XP PRO myself but I had this problem last month and I jsut did a total system restore and it worked.

sure you downloaded for the correct version of office you are using? Also, copying it to C: might make a difference perhaps.

What version did you made the password for that doc?\nAnd what version you are trying to open with now?\nIf they are no the same version, you probably need to use the same version, because saving Doc encrypted in WordXP will not enables Word97 to open it.\nThis was actually the most error here in my town after upgrading to WordXP, Word97 can not open WordXP files.\nIf you are using the same version, then I think the problem is not the Password, you may have a currepted file.\nTry to use another computer (Same version of XP and Word)\n\nVBAXLMan

Nope.   You can only install software from the installer program or disk.   In your case, you have to buy Microsoft Word again. \n\nGood luck

Sounds like you were using a trial version that has expired.  With newer computers, a timed demo version of Office is preinstalled.\n\nYou can either purchase Office or download a free word processing program.\n\nTwo programs that I have used and can recommend as a free alternative are AbiWord or OpenOffice.\n\nhttp://www.abisource.com/\nhttp://www.openoffice.org/

you probably don't have the correct program to view the file. Check the Microsoft website to see what you need to open it.

Your computer probably came with a demo of Office 2003, and Word is the default programme, so it tries to open it with Word, which you have not activated.  Go to the control panel, add/remove programmes, and remove Office 2003 if you don't have the actual programme to activate.  Then Wordpad will work fine.  Or, you can just open up Wordpad first, then search for and open your file.

You did not state if it was XP Professional or Home you are using, so I included both link to create a bootable floppy.\nYou did not mention if you had a floppy on not.

The attachment your trying to open has not been associated with an application, meaning that the OS doesn't know what program to use to open it. Download it, save it to your desktop (or where ever you want it) right click on it and select open with, then choose a program from the list thats capable of opening it.

Get your original text file, and try to open it straight away with word. Do this by right clicking on the file and properties. Then choose open with and then Microsoft Word. Now see what happens!

Did your machine come pre-loaded with any word processor program like Microsoft Works?\n\nIf not, you can go here:  http://www.abisource.com/\nand download that program for free.  The site says it is similar to Microsoft Word.  Might work for you.\n\nHere are some more:\nhttp://www.openoffice.org/\nhttp://www.jarte.com/\nhttp://www.yeahwrite.com/
