How can I open Works files in Office?

[John]

A friend has some Microsoft Works files (both word processor and
database files but I don't know which version) but no longer has the
Works program installed.

He has Microsoft Office Home & Student 2007 Edition installed, so will
this open the Works files? He hasn't tried it, just in case it somehow
corrupts them if it doesn't work.

TIA
