MS Works Convert

Is there a program that will convert Microsoft works documents to Microsoft Word Documents or to RTF documents? I know you an do a save as in Works but we don’t have MS works (isn’t that a oxymoron) and we receive documents created in them every now and then.

Check out Conversion Plus. I have never used it personally, but I use Maclink(also by Dataviz) for converting Works files to Word on a Mac. It works like a charm.

FOUND IT

To install the Works 6.0 Converter on the computer where Microsoft Word is installed, follow these steps:
In your Web browser, browse to the following Microsoft Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2002/wp6rtf.aspx
Read the information about the Works 6.0 Converter, and then click Download Now.
In the File Download dialog box, click Open. The Wp6rtf.exe document is now downloaded to your computer.
Click Yes to the following message:
Are you sure you want to install the Works 6.0 converter?
Click Yes to accept the Microsoft License Agreement. If you click No, the Works 6.0 Converter Setup ends, and the Works 6.0 Converter is not installed on your computer.
The Works 6.0 Converter Setup now extracts and installs the Works 6.0 Converter (Works632.cnv) on your computer.

To open a Microsoft Works 6.0 word-processing document in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:
