您的计算机上是否有WPS 文件(WPS file)但不知道如何打开它？快速的Google 搜索(Google search)会告诉您WPS 文件(WPS file)扩展名来自多年前已停止使用的Microsoft Works 程序。(Microsoft Works program)
但是，仍然有很多人在使用Microsoft Works，您仍然可以在 Amazon.com 上购买它(purchase it on Amazon.com)！它实际上是亚马逊(Amazon)电子表格类别(Spreadsheets category)中排名第一的畅销书，击败了Excel 2013！所以，是的，你最终可能会在未来从某人那里得到一个WPS 文件。(WPS file)
除了MS Works，WPS 文件(WPS file)还可以是金山词霸的文档(Kingsoft Writer document)。我建议您先尝试打开WPS 文件(WPS file)，假设它是MS Works 文件(MS Works file)，如果这不起作用(t work)，那么您可以尝试使用免费的金山写作软件(Kingsoft Writer Software)。
那么我们如何打开 WPS 文件呢？这得看情况。显然，您正在阅读本文是因为您的系统上没有安装Works，因此除非您从Amazon购买该程序，否则我们将需要一种不同的方式来打开它。
使用 Word 打开 WPS
如果您的系统上安装了Office，那么打开WPS 文件(WPS file)非常容易。您需要做的第一件事是从Microsoft安装一些软件，帮助Word将文件转换为DOC 或 DOCX 格式(DOC or DOCX format)。
如果您尝试在未安装转换器的情况下在Word中打开(Word)WPS 文件(WPS file)，它可能无法正常工作。但是，某些版本的Word会提示您下载转换器。无论如何，有两个转换器，但您不一定需要同时安装两个。
Works 6-9 File Converter - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12
先下载6-9，安装，然后打开Word，进入文件(File)-打开(Open)。在打开对话框(Open dialog)中，确保在文件类型下拉框中选择所有文件。(All Files)
如果Word无法打开该文件，则可能是Works 文件(Works file)来自更旧版本的Works ，例如版本 4(version 4)。
Works 4, 4.5 File Converter - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7264
下载并安装 4、4.5 转换器，尝试打开文件，只要它实际上是MS Works 文件(MS Works file)，它应该可以工作。如果您仍然无法打开它或者您没有安装Office，请继续阅读下文。
使用 Word 查看器打开 WPS
如果您没有安装Office，您可以尝试使用Microsoft提供的免费(Microsoft)Word Viewer程序。除了允许您打开Word文档之外，它还允许您打开 Works 6 和 Works 7 文件。
具体来说，它没有提及旧版本的Works或新版本，如 8.0 或 9.0。如果这不起作用(t work)，您还可以尝试安装Microsoft Office 兼容包(Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack)，看看是否可以打开WPS 文件(WPS file)。
兼容包(compatibility pack)包括较新的Office格式，并且可能能够打开在版本 8(version 8)或 9中创建的WPS 文件。(WPS file)
其他程序
除了Word 和 Word Viewer(Word and Word Viewer)之外，还有一些其他程序可以打开WPS文件。在这里，我按操作系统对它们进行了细分：
Windows - Microsoft Publisher, LibreOffice, OpenOffice Writer and NCH Doxillion
Mac - LibreOffice, OpenOffice Writer, NeoOffice
Linux - LibreOffice, OpenOffice Writer, OxygenOffice Pro
如果您使用的是Mac 或 Linux(Mac or Linux)，您仍然可以使用上述程序打开WPS文件。(WPS)
转换 WPS 文件
最后，您可以尝试使用第三方工具转换WPS 文件，但您的运气会有所不同。(WPS file)由于它是专有的Microsoft 格式(Microsoft format)，因此Microsoft工具会做得最好，但如果到目前为止没有其他方法对您有用，您可以随时尝试。
我过去写过的一个工具是ZamZar，它是一种在线服务，可让您在数百种不同格式之间进行转换。有时结果非常好，有时不太好，但这在很大程度上取决于格式和文档的复杂程度。
如果您打开WPS 文件(WPS file)是绝对必要的，并且您没有使用上述任何方法获得格式正确的文档，我建议您从Amazon购买 Works并在其本机程序中打开该文件。他们有版本4.5、6、7、8和9，您可以购买。为了安全起见，我建议选择 9。
如果您在打开WPS 文件(WPS file)时遇到任何问题，请随时发表评论，我会尽力提供帮助。享受！
How to Open a WPS File
Do you have a WPS file оn your computer and have no idea how to open it? Α quick Google search will tell you that the WPS file extension is from thе Microsoft Works program, which was discontinued many years ago.
However, there are still quite a lot of people who use Microsoft Works and you can still purchase it on Amazon.com! It’s actually the #1 bestseller in the Spreadsheets category on Amazon, beating out Excel 2013! So yes, you might end up getting a WPS file from someone well into the future.
In addition to MS Works, a WPS file can also be a Kingsoft Writer document. I would suggest you try to open the WPS file assuming it’s a MS Works file first and if that doesn’t work, then you can try using the Kingsoft Writer Software, which is free.
So how do we go about opening the WPS file? Well, it depends. Obviously, you are reading this because you don’t have Works installed on your system, so unless you buy the program from Amazon, we’ll need a different way to open it.
Open WPS using Word
If you have Office installed on your system, then it’s pretty easy to open a WPS file. The first thing you’ll need to do is install some software from Microsoft that will help Word convert the file to DOC or DOCX format.
If you try to open the WPS file in Word without first installing the converters, it probably won’t work. However, some versions of Word will prompt you to download the converters. In any case, there are two converters, but you don’t necessarily need to install both.
Works 6-9 File Converter - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12
Download the 6-9 first, install it and then open Word and go to File – Open. In the Open dialog box, make sure to choose All Files in the file type drop-down box.
If Word cannot open the file, it could be that the Works file is from an even older version of Works like version 4.
Works 4, 4.5 File Converter - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7264
Download and install the 4, 4.5 converter, try to open the file and it should work as long as it is actually a MS Works file. If you still can’t open it or if you don’t have Office installed, keep reading below.
Open WPS using Word Viewer
If you don’t have Office installed, you can try using the free Word Viewer program from Microsoft. In addition to allowing you to open Word documents, it lets you open Works 6 and Works 7 files.
Specifically, it does not mention older versions of Works or newer versions like 8.0 or 9.0. If that doesn’t work, you can also try to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack and see if that allows you to open the WPS file.
The compatibility pack includes newer Office formats and may be able to open a WPS file created in version 8 or 9.
Other Programs
In addition to Word and Word Viewer, there are a couple of other programs that can open WPS files. Here I have broken them down by operating system:
Windows - Microsoft Publisher, LibreOffice, OpenOffice Writer and NCH Doxillion
Mac - LibreOffice, OpenOffice Writer, NeoOffice
Linux - LibreOffice, OpenOffice Writer, OxygenOffice Pro
If you are using Mac or Linux, you can still open WPS files using the programs mentioned above.
Convert WPS Files
Lastly, you can try to convert the WPS file using third-party tools, but your luck will vary. Since it’s a proprietary Microsoft format, Microsoft tools will do the best job, but if nothing else has worked for you till now, you can always try.
One tool that I’ve written about in the past is ZamZar, an online service that lets you convert between hundreds of different formats. Sometimes the results are excellent and sometimes not so great, but a lot depends on the format and how complicated the document is.
If it’s absolutely essential that you open the WPS file and you’re not getting a properly formatted document using any of the methods above, I would suggest you purchase Works from Amazon and open the file in its native program. They have versions 4.5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 that you can purchase. I would suggest going with 9 just to be safe.
If you have any issues opening your WPS file, feel free to post a comment and I’ll try to help out. Enjoy!
