Hi everyone,

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

Best,

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.
