How Can I Convert A Microsoft Works Document Into A Microsoft Word Document???

Question

I want to get my dissertation published which means that I will need to send my manuscript. The only problem is that my dissertation is saved on my computer in microsoft works format. How Can I convert this to a MS WORD format. Please bear in mind that I have many photos, tables, graphs etc on my dissertation hence everything will have to remain exactly the same. All I want to do is to change the format to MS WORD without changing any of the actual work.

Answer 1

You can do it in Works easily.

All you need to do is open the file in Works then go to the file menu and select save as. Click on the down arrow by 'save as type'. Here you can save your file in Word format

Use the word 97-2002 option as the word 95 is not as good.

If you want to check how it looks in word you can download the wordviewer for free from Microsoft

Answer 2

If you have, or know someone that has, Microsoft Word, you can import the Works file by clicking on File, and then Open. You may need your Microsoft Word CD if you haven't already installed the Works recognition option (Sorry, I can't think of the actual name that it's called.) Then you'll need to save it as a Word format document.

Answer 3

Open the file in works and select all of the material. open MS Word and paste the entire document.

Alternatively, run Microsoft Word and use the 'Insert - File' tool and import the works document. Make sure you make a couple of backups first though.

Answer 4

All you do is open the file from within Word (making sure that when you go File, Open, you change the file type to All files to it appears in window). Once opened, simply save as with different name and it will save as Word document with the suffix .doc. By far the quickest and easiest method.

Answer 5

First start with running MS Word...then open the Works document file...it may ask you if you wish to convert this to Word format - yes - then save it as a word file... easy?
You will the have 2 versions of the same document, one in Works format and one in Word format. it's that easy!
