Yes, Peter, think I see where you are with this. Maybe the quickest way out would be to take Malcolm up on his offer to convert them. From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Peter Bentley 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.

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.

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.

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
