More on unreadable attachment

I should have mentioned that the attachment had a wps file designation. To
open it, I got a message which said that I needed a converter and that I
should insert my MS Office XP Standard for Students and Teachers. I did so,
and the unreadable attachment was the result. I have Outlook Express 6.
Thank you all for responding.

You should have stayed with your original thread.

Tom,

The ".wps" extension usually indicates that the file was written with
Microsoft Works, an uncommon product nowadays.

Microsoft offers a converter for certain versions of Works and certain
versions of Word:

If you only have to convert one file once, and the data is not
sensitive, it might be simpler to locate a free conversion service on
the internet, e.g., http://www.zamzar.com/

HTH.
