Thanks Ray

There are some complications which I can't get round using any Word conversion  
facility.

I have an old Office 2000 CD. Since installation I have downloaded the Service 
pack releases. When I try to add the converters Word will not accept them from 
the dis but looks for the service pack which I don't have on the computer. I 
have tried downloading  the Office conversion pack from the web and although 
this appears to have installed successfully I still get a message telling me to 
install the converters from Word when I try to open the files.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Peter

  Peter, I am pretty sure Word 2k will load WordPerfect 5.1 files  and WP6, and 
these are mentioned in the help file.

  Certainly, my version of Word 2K will save to WordPerfect 5.

  I'm never very good on the details of these things, but these files should be 
on the Office 2k instalation discs.  Seems they can also be added via the 
add/remove Office instalation program, .  I'd certainly take a good look at the 
Word 2K help.

    Thanks Malcolm

    I'll keep this address and I note your recommendation that this program 
does a good job. I have looked at the web site and since this is a one off I 
wonder if there is any free software that would do a reasonable conversion.

      Try WordPort it is completely accessible and does the best conversion I 
have seen between word-processing formats.

        Hello

        I have been sent some WordPerfect 5 files which I am not able to open 
in Word 2000. I do have all the Office converters installed and so it does not 
seem that Word will convert them.

        Does anybody know of an accessible program which will convert from 
WordPerfect to Word 2000 please.

        Many thanks

        Peter Bentley
