How to Open a WPS on a Mac. Microsoft Works documents can be opened using an online file converter. The Mac doesn't have a native application that can be used to open these types of documents.

Finally, there are actually some software suites that are supposed to natively open .wps files on a Mac.

Select "Works 6-9 Document (*.wps)" in the "File Type" box, select the WPS file using the integrated file browser, and then click "Open" to open the Works document in Word.
