Hi Wanda:

They're being very cruel, aren't they...

The short answer is: Use FileSave As and save the document in Text Only
(.txt) format. This strips out all of the WordPerfect formatting, keeping
only the text.

Now, re-save the .TXT version as a Word document and run through it,
applying the correct formatting in Word.

Stripping it back to plain text and starting again is far quicker than any
attempt to "rescue" bad WordPerfect formatting. The internal format of a
WordPerfect document is nothing like a Word document, so trying to fix it
will take more time than simply formatting it anew.

Cheers
