Word can open Works documents this way:
1. Click the File tab on the Ribbon (assuming you have Office 2010. Any other version of Word, do CTRL/O).
2. Set the little list box over the Open and Cancel buttons to Works 6.0-9.0 Document (*.wps).
3. Navigate to and select the document.
4. Open it.
If you want, you can then save a new copy as a Word Document with File->Save As.
Hope that helps.

youll need to get works otherwise the files will be corrupted. Likewise you could just convert it to a notepad/wordpad file and open it, but then you would lose all the benefits of microsoft office.
