Microsoft Works 8.5

[fry_lover]

does anyone know how to convert Microsoft Works 8.5 documents (which i have on my lap-top) to Microsoft Word 2002 (which i have on my desktop)

I have had a good old look through Google, but cant find anything!

Thanks

thanks for the links, i have already tried these without success. I think the issue might be i have an up-to-date Works (8.5) but an older version of Word (2002) and so on Word 2002 you can only convert from Works 4.0

So i am in the process of downloading a 60-day trial of Word 2007 to see if that makes a difference, as i see on Word 2007 you can convert from Works 6.0-9.0

however even if this works, it only solves the problem for 60 days, although i am sure (hope!) this issue is relatively forward to solve

well MS Word 2007 opens it not problem (the Works 8.5 document) - but still need to find a longer-term solution as my MS Word 2007 trial expires in 60 days

EDIT: problem solved

I can save my MS Work 8.5 documents in Word format on my lap-top hence no need to f*** about trying to convert documents
