How do I convert files created on a vista system with .wps extensions to be read/used in word 2016. Unable to find any converters on the office web site.

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.
If you want to send a sample to me at supportATgmayor.com (put your forum name in the subject or the message will be discarded) and I will investigate whether it can be opened or converted.
This is still kicking me into the office download that loops into the licensing agreement and does not allow me to get to the window that converts the files. What are your thoughts on doxillion. Their free trial converted the files I selected quickly and easily.
Merlin does not support the WPS files I am trying to convert. The saga continues.
