Hmmm ... if you have Word (at least the recent ones), it should be able to read the Wordperfect document with only a bit of formatting errors. Have you tried this? If so, what problems are you experiencing?

Feel free to e-mail the Wordperfect doc to me, and I will see if I can massage it into shape for you (I have Framemaker too and it might do a better job then Word on some formats).

Apparently, I don't have a new enough version of Office, and I can't find my disc (so I can help it do the updates). Grrr.

If someone has both WP and MSW, it shouldn't be hard...

I don't need the formatting to be perfect, just the text.

FYI - I used to run into issues with this as we converted our software standard. I found at times you could not "cut and paste" the text from one doc to the other :eek:. The work around I found (and this may work for your needs) is to copy the text from the wpd file into notepad/or such and then copy and paste into Word.

I just wrote it off as one of the MicroSoft things.

Also, I used a more recent version of Word for this document, which should read back fine into older versions of Word too. If not, please let me know and I will save it in an older format or in RTF.
