I had that problem and I solved it by right clicking on the file name
(inside the folder) and choosing the "open with" option. You will then
be given a menu showing all the possible programs available on your
computer that might possibly open that file. Choose the Open Office
program that matches your file; ex: calc for spreadsheets; writer for
letters and other text docs; etc.
Good luck,
racy

Hi Marcy,
The standard version of openoffice cannot read wps files, however
Libreoffice which is a variant of openoffice can. What you need to do
for best results is to convert the wps file into a file type that
openoffice can read There is an article at the following web page which
details step-by-step, three ways to convert wps files into a format
suitable for open office. Hope this helps you out.
