Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Microsoft Works-2

Hello John,

I have MS Office 97 & 2000 that I'm willing to flash up in a virtual 
machine if it will help. If your Works version is old enough that the MS 
filters in Word 97/2000 can open your files I will be happy to convert a 
few to ODF for you.

By a few I mean less than a dozen. :-)
