Bear with me on this one...!

One of the users I support regularly e-mails out attachments written in Microsoft Works v7.0 (.WPS files). The recipient of these e-mails has just told her he now can't open them. I've checked that her machine (running XP) is free of virus/adware/spyware, etc. She's used this version for ages.

Spoke today to the guy receiving these e-mails. Claims he was able to previously open her attachments using Adobe Reader! I cannot believe this is true, but it's difficult to call a customer a liar!

Will someone please kindly confirm that NO VERSION of Adobe Reader will open .WPS files! I only have version 8, and that certainly won't open them...
