MS Works Converter 2.20

MS Works Converter 2.20 is a useful program which allows you to convert Microsoft Works files (extension wks and wdb) to Excel format.

MS Works Converter can convert great numbers of Works files in one go. Microsoft does not provide an import filter for Excel to load Works-WKS and WDB files later than version 2. (for Works-WPD and Word they do).

There is no standard way to convert a lot of Works-WKS files into the Excel format. The only thing you can do is, provided you have a Works installation, to save each file out of Works manually into XLS-Format, which, frankly, is a pain in the neck. Converter does not need a Works installation and you can use it for batch conversion.
