Printing Microsoft works documents with microsoft word

Hi, My laptop has microsoft works package on it (similiar to microsoft word but it's the free version that you get with the laptop). I've compiled a document I want to print on the laptop.
I have no printer attached to the laptop so want to print it off my friends pc, however she has microsoft word. Is there a way around this. I checked microsoft's website and there is a mention of a microsoft works converter. Has anyone ever used this and if so how should I go out it?
Thanks.

When you have created the document in works, select File and save as and you will see a box where you can select the format (save as type I think). Pick the Word format you need here and it should then be ok to print elsewhere.

I'll try this, Thanks for quick response.

On a related note, my university work (essays, thesis etc) are all in an old Works format (Works 95 I think). I still have the files but not the application, and I haven't been able to find a converter to change them into .doc files (or anything else readable!). Any suggestions!?

It might have that format.

Runner, I've tried changing the format but it won't work. I should have mentioned earlier that the laptop is vista and the p.c is xp operating system.

In case it's of relevance here bear in mind that Office 2003 SP3 automatically and without warning disables access to certain older Office file formats!
