Try: (Very simplified instructions, hehe) |

Ok here's my problem. I used to have a program for writing my essays and dream journal etc. It was called "Microsoft Works Word Processor". Apparently, this was part of a free-trial thing and now it's expired. I can't use the writing program anymore and I can't access ANY of the files I saved using that program. I then used Microsoft wordpad to try and open it that way but when I do, it's all in codes and completely useless. My Lucid dream to do list is one of them and I want to see it because I can't remember what I wanted to do. I don't know anything about computers so I'll list everything I know about the file and if anyone can help find a solution then I would be grateful |

can you go into the properties of the document and change them? |

clear eyes. strong hands.
Thanks, both of you. I was able to find what I was looking for in all those codes and mumbo crap. I just did what O'nus suggested, although I'm sure adidas's adivce would have worked to. Actually I've already tried both of them before, but I never tried to really look what was in all that crap. Here's an example of what it looked like. |

That's crap the computers like to store about the fonts you're using and stuff. |

Worst case scenario, you could have downloaded the free Word viewer from Microsoft's site. I think it will let you save it as text. |

my dad's got word perfect 9... if you're out of ideas I could open it on his computer and re-save it as a .doc file? |

Yea its a good idea to save your file as a text file also after you save it as the regular format 8) |

You can download a file convert to convert WordPerfect to .doc. It's a pain though. |

http://openoffice.org will open them up and let you edit them no problem. It's what I use daily. |

Thanks dougdrums, I'll try it now |
