How to open a .wps file?

Comment:
I've been emailed a .wps file (I think this is Microsoft Works
Word Processor). I don't have Microsoft Word on my Mac, and
have tried and failed to open the .wps file in NeoOffice,
TextEdit and AppleWorks.

Can anyone please suggest a free program I could use to
open .wps files?

Also, there is an Intel specific version of Open Office, but not a Universal binary as of yet. The Intel version can be found here:

.wps is for a Word Perfect file. Make a backup copy and try changing the extension to .doc or .txt and you might be able to open and read it.
