[mso] Re: Convert WordPerfect to Word?

WordPerfect files open in Word almost automatically.  When you double-click=
 the file to open, you will be presented with a list of options to convert =
from.  The choice you want is automatically detected, so you can usually =
just click OK and encounter no problems opening the document.

From there, if you want the document to have a .doc extension, just =
perform a Save As.

I can tell you that this process is by no means perfect.  We use a =
conversion macro created by a consultant to clean up several weird font =
and spacing issues (most notably, the WP Typographic Symbols font used for =
some standard punctuation will display strangely for some users who do not =
have WordPerfect installed).  In addition, footnotes sometimes display =
strangely and spacing issues are a concern.

You can contact me offlist if you're interested in our clean-up macro - I =
may be able to track down the source code.

HTH,
Candi
