MS Works programs tend to be impossible to open in anything except Works. If you want to share documents with other people, try saving them in .rtf (Rich Text Format) instead. Or, if you don't want to purchase MS Word (expensive), you could download and install OpenOffice from www.openoffice.org. OpenOffice is a free office suite that includes a word processor and spreadsheet. OpenOffice can Save As MS Word and Excel formats.
