    Hey my parents just recently purchased a new computer. Their system came with Vista Business (64-bit). My mother has a few documents that are saved in both .wps and .wks formats from MS Works. Unluckily the only copy of Works that we have is the old one that we got with our first computer (this thing had windows 3.1). So obviously it’s not nearly compatible with Vista. I was wondering if there was a reliable way to open/convert these documents using MS office 2007, or to install MS Works onto the new computer. Thanks for any help you could provide.
