There is no current converter from Microsoft, and it's extremely unlikely that
the company will create a new one (as Graham said, for commercial reasons; i.e.,
Microsoft sees no profitability in it).
Most likely your best solution is a third-party program, Conversions Plus from
DataViz (
http://www.dataviz.com/products/conv...us/index.html). Maybe you
can get your stubborn client to pay the $50.

Graham,
WordPerfect does open MS Word documents. My situation is that the law firm
that I deal with "will not" open or convert the files. It is my
responsibility to ensure proper file format. Thank you for your help.

Microsoft removed the function allegedly for 'security' reasons and probably
for commercial reasons also. You can still use the old filter as I have
explained, or you can use some third party tool such as File Merlin. You
still have the issue of disparate file structures to deal with. Doesn't WP
open Word documents?

The filters currently supplied do not, I believe, save in WP format.
The earlier ones do. However it must be remembered that Word and WP
formats are very different and a document from Word saved in WP mode
may look nothing like the original. The earlier filters will work
with 2007 - and you'll find them on the downloads page of my web site

Graham,
I can open/convert Word Perfect files, edit and save in MS word
format. I need to save the file as a WordPerfect document. The law
firm I deal with is not going to convert. They want every file
returned in WordPerfect not in MS word format.
I guess I missed the locating the filters on your site, my question
do I need the filters with Office 2007?
Thank you,

The old filters will still work with Word 2007 within their
original limitations, if you have them available. They can be
downloaded from my web site. Make sure you save the originals
somewhere safe first! I suggest a sub folder of the original
folder.

WordPerfect can open MS Word files saved from Word 2007 in
Word97-2003 format. MS switched the (aging) WordPerfect converters
used in Word 2007 to read/open rather than also be able to use
them to save.

Hello Geeks,
I am in need of your expert help. I deal daily with a law firm
that only
creates documents in Word Perfect. Me -- I am a big fan of Office
2007 and
all its functions I only create documents in Word 2007.
Does MS office 2007 Professional or Ultimate have a add-in that
will all me
to save documents as Word Perfct format?
