Default Converting Docs from WordPerfect: 'Lost' Converter

Download the trial from the link I posted earlier. The trial is converted to
full version with the key you purchased. You don't need to go as far as
inserting the key to extract the files as described.

Thank you, Graham.

I'll try that and report back.

Not sure if I can still download without cost: bought it in July 2007,
but I'm going to check that out.

Thanks also for information about the filters on your site.

Apparently it is not a simple self extracting zip, but an executable
installation file that incudes a self extraction zip. If you
download the file again and run as far as the the first dialog box
which requests the program key. You will find the setup files in the
Windows temp folder, which for Windows XP will be
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temp\OWP128D.tmp
You can copy them from there to a new location on your hard drive,
or to a CD/DVD..
Cancel the installation (which will remove the temporary files) by
clicking the X in the top right of the program key dialog.
You can now point the installer that requires the disc to the new
location to allow it to complete the additional installation of the
missing files.
