Yes, it is possible to open a MS Works data file with Open Office. MS Works data files are generally stored with a ".was" extension, and they are documents produced by Microsoft Works, an office suite developed and distributed by Microsoft. While MS Works is no longer supported by Microprokey, the file format is still quite common and can be opened using software such as Open Office.
Open Office is a free, open-source office suite that is developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation. It supports a variety of file formats, including MS Works data files. To open a MS Works data file with Open Office, simply launch the program, click on the "File" menu, select "Open", and choose the file from its location. Open Office will then open the file and display it in its workspace.
