Me again,
Goto MS site. Look for MS download center. Do a search on Word. You should see
a downloadable filter with the following description, "The Works 6.0 Converter allows
you to convert word processor documents created in Microsoft Works 6.0 to Microsoft
Word and other Works programs. Specifically, this converter works with Works 2000,
4.5, and 4.x, and Word 2002, 2000, and 97."
Download it and follow directions. Normally, it will be a self-extractor - self-installer.
But read the directions first.
OK?? Medium rare on that steak please. Don
