Used to use Microsoft 2000 Word Processor on Dell Laptop. My iMac is 2 weeks old and documents have successfully been transferred from the Dell to Mac via Maxtor external hard drive. How can I open the Word Processing documents - NOT to use, but to read. WPS is the extension. There is plenty of discussion on MS Word, but not MS Word Processor
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
WPS is not a Microsoft Word document. It is a Works Document. http://www.zamzar.com/ offers conversion tools.

Just quick view from finder .
Simply locate folder and file within finder window .
Right click and choose open with quick view
Or download
http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/download.php#download
this handles .wps documents and you can convert them to a more universal extension such as .rtd or .doc
My downloads are not huge and will not meet the 1mb free limit. The only issue I have is privacy - i.e. receiving by e-mail. Fortunately, mostly, the documents are not personal. For my purposes, on the whole, I like using Zamzar. It is quick, easy, free for my usage. Thank you.
Thank you. I attempted your solution first, mainly because it required no external communications. Your initial method did give me a drop down window which allowed three options. Terminal: Just opened a black box., App Store: Message on the monitor said: No results , try again, and the third was: Other.... : This took me to the applications in Finder and I could find nothing listed which could suit my needs. I read Neooffice and found it confusing. I am new to iMac and you helped by furthering my options for the future. I have alot to learn.
