To open a Microsoft Works document (.WPS file), use NeoOffice. Version 3.1.2 for PPC or Intel is free for download until May 1, 2012. Version 3.2.1 is US$10. For OS X, you are better off choosing NeoOffice than OO. OpenOffice isn't a true OS X application, but is a port of Sun Microsystem's source code they bought from a German company before they merged with Oracle. NeoOffice is developed specifically for OS X and is smaller, more stable, faster, has native OS X text highlighting, is just as capable, and more efficient that OO. NeoOffice also has glyph kerning like Apple's own applications, so text spacing can be adjusted much better than with OO where glyphs must be aligned with each pixel. You will instantly see how OpenOffice acts like a Windows app if you close all documents, and see that the menu bar disappears. That is clearly a Windows-bug ported over. No real OS X app goes nutters like this when you close all document windows. If you know the Works document is just text, use the "WPS Convereter" site to convert it to a simple text file. Open a text file in TextEdit.
