Open WPS File

Open WPS File

WPS file is similar to the DOC format. WPS files are text documents created with the Microsoft Works Word Processor (MWWP) word processor. Unlike Microsoft Word, this program does not offer advanced formatting options, such as macros. WPS files are efficient for basic text documents, such as notes, spreadsheets, database information and documents whose final product does not need complex effects or formats. Almost all versions of Word can open WPS files, but this format was suspended in 2006, when it was replaced by the DOC extension.

Technical details about WPS files

WPS formatted files can contain richly formatted text, images, clipart elements and tables made using Microsoft Works software.

The libwps library allows users to read and write WPS documents. The C ++ library enables the manipulation of WPS files with various programs, including OxygenOffice and NeoOffice. Microsoft Works allows users to open Microsoft Office documents and spreadsheets, as well as notebooks created with Excel. The only updated feature between versions consists of task panels. Microsoft Works was replaced in 2009 by Office 2010 Starter, which offers mainly the same features. The installation of the Office 2007 compatibility package allows you to import more documents into the WPS format. Modern word processors can open WPS files.
