Once upon a time, WPS Office (formerly Kingsoft Office) was my favorite free office suite. It had the look of modern-day Microsoft Office and all the features most users needed - myself included. WPS Office is a comprehensive and free office suite for Windows that includes a text processor, spreadsheet, and presentation creator, among other useful tools that are completely compatible with other well-known packages from the same category like Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, and LibreOffice.

What is a WPS file?

A WPS file is a document created with Microsoft Works Word Processor, a word-processing application included with the Microsoft Works productivity suite. It contains document elements similar to a Microsoft Word (.DOC) document but does not support advanced formatting options and macros that a Word document may contain.

WPS files were commonly used in the late-1980s and 1990s for storing various types of documents, such as essays, letters, invitations, financial reports, resumes, and newsletters. However, Microsoft Works and WPS files decreased in usage in the 2000s due to the rise in popularity of Microsoft Office and Word DOC files.

Microsoft eventually discontinued the WPS format in 2006, replacing it with the DOC format. The Works productivity suite was then discontinued in 2009 with Works 9 being the final version.

How do I open a WPS file?

You can open WPS files with Microsoft Works Word Processor if you still have access to it (discontinued in 2009). You can also open WPS files (version 6.0 or later) with Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel by clicking File → Open, selecting 'All Files (*.*)' in the File Type dropdown menu, then choosing the WPS file you want to open.

Other applications that support WPS files include the Writer word processor included with LibreOffice (multiplatform), Planamesa NeoOffice (macOS), and OxygenOffice Professional (Linux).

.WPS File Association 2

A WPS file is a word processing document created by Kingsoft Writer, a word processor that is part of the Kingsoft WPS Office suite. It contains text, images, and page formatting. WPS files are similar to Microsoft Word documents (.DOC or .DOCX files).

The WPS file is the main file associated with Writer. It is created when you save a document in order to store the contents of the document. You can create a WPS document from scratch or use the .WPT template to start and save it as a WPS file.

Writer is included with the WPS Office suite, along with the Presentation and Spreadsheets programs. Besides the WPS file, Writer supports other documents, including .DOCX, .DOC, .DOTX, .PDF, and .RTF documents. Writer features rich text editing and document formatting capabilities and comes with several tools including spell check, word count, thesaurus, and add-ins.
