Don't know of one, others may.
What's it like in WordPad (might be slightly better)?

I'm surprised that Open Office cannot handle this. The file with the .wps extension was created with Microsoft Works. If you can find someone with this program they might resave it as a .doc for you. I believe that M$ Word should also be able to handle this task.
In the mean time, why not try copying the file and renaming it as [filename].doc. Maybe Open Ofiice will be able to use this?

I had the same problem with a client's files. I had to open then with MS Works and then save them as a .doc file. Then they'll work in MS Word.
