Hi everyone,
The works converter is now live and you can find it here across a myriad of supported languages.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12 should work with 64 bit Windows, but may not work with 64 bit versions of Word. It only works with files from Works versions 6 to 9. For earlier Works versions you will need the very old filters linked from the downloads page of my web site.
Alternatively, use File Merlin to convert the files to Word format.

The only thing that you have missed is the realization that by saving in .doc format, they are no longer WPS files, but have been converted to Word document format.
don't know if I'm missing something but on my wps documents (using home and student 2007), before I transferred them to my new computer with home and student 2016, I clicked save as, and instead of choosing wps I chose .doc....
the home and student 2016 then accepted them in that format
