File with.SHS extension contains a fragment of Microsoft Word or Excel document in the form of an embedded object created and used by older Windows systems. Program that supports OLE objects in SHS document files is called shscrap.dll - Windows Shell Scrap Object Handler.
RTF is a file extension used with text files. It was created by Microsoft in 1987 as a cross-platform sharing document standard, which is now recognized by most text editors.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the SHS file after converting to RTF may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from SHS to RTF to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting SHS to RTF does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in SHS format, properly converted to a RTF file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your SHS file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to RTF on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the SHS file in its original format (without conversion to RTF file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
