Isn’t it depressing the way many of us presume that everyone has a copy of Microsoft Word?
A colleague of mine was sent a document unreadable by his copy of MS Word. The extension was .wps. The author claimed that it would open with WordPad (the free text editor that comes with Windows), well it didn’t open this file. On further inspection we came to the conclusion that this file was born of Microsoft Works. But not of the recent variety because that comes with Microsoft Word (see here). On further research here this .wps file is certainly a Works document but you need an extension for Microsoft Word to open it.
The point is though, we shouldn’t presume that everyone has Microsoft Word.
