Computers have made our work easier by saving and arranging our documents in a systematic manner. There's no need to trash the office looking for that one file that evades your eyes. But as technology evolves, so should we. Unfortunately, some people don't get the concept, and are still stuck using archaic file formats.
A WPS file was used by consumers because it was cheaper than the Office suite, and contained the basic software of spreadsheet, word processor, and a database management system, which can be taught to even novices. But now, the format has become near extinct. For those who have gotten used to the software, there's a solution. We will tell you how to convert a WPS file into a word document (.doc), in a few easy-to-do steps.
What is WPS?
WPS is a file format extension used by Microsoft Works. Compared to MS Word, it had a flatline database system to store data. The formula had to be entered manually for calculations to be interpreted properly. It was discontinued in 2006, and replaced by the .doc format. WPS contains a C++ library called 'libwps', which lets you read and edit WPS files. It doesn't have advanced formatting options, and doesn't include the option of using macros.
What is a Doc File?
Enter Microsoft Word. Although it started as a basic word processing software, later on, it included additional options like embedding images in the document, different font styles, as well as support for more file formats. It soon went on to become the proprietary software of the Microsoft Office suite. It can be saved with the .doc extension. This format is recognized by almost all popular office suites like WPS Office and NeoOffice. On Linux, it can be opened using OxygenOffice Professional.
