Hi, I have a client that is using Works 4.0 and he has several documents and books using this software. To upgrade him to works 9.0 without a converter is not in the question, but anyway. This question is only about a certain few files.
He has some files that he created using works and they have the .wps extension. When I open these select files, they are not completely in characters and codes, but instead, they have a box character between each letter.
It only does this with 3 files that he needs very badly, and all of his other documents open fine. Are the files corrupt? I also tried installing Works 4.0 onto another computer and open them by xfering them with a USB drive, same result.
Anyone know what's going on with this?
The text throughout the whole file looks similar to the following example, except the underscores would appear as boxes in the file. I don't know how to get a box character in this forum submission so stay with me
"H_E_L_L_O_M_Y_N_A_M_E_I_S_J_O_N_A_T_H_A_N"
so ya, the underscores = boxes though..
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance everyone!
