I presume that you are using Microsoft Works program and sending WPS
(word processing) or WKS (spreadsheet) files.

It's not that Works is "too old", it's that it uses file formats that
few other programs support.

What you need to do in Works, is use the File, Save As function to save
your Works files in a more common format and then send those files. For
word processing files, select the RTF format. For spreadsheets, select
XLS.

Use the following newsgroup for questions or problems with Microsoft
Works
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.works.win

You can also access the newsgroup via the web interface he
http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/newsgroup.mspx
(although the web page mentions Works 8, the newsgroup applies to all
versions of Works for Windows)
