Save As WordPerfect File
That does sound like the best solution!

"Thomas M." wrote in message ... Sorry that I did not get back to you sooner. I reviewed the information in the links that you posted, plus a few other articles that I found through your links, and decided that doing the file conversion thing was not a good idea. So we ended up doing the arm-twisting thing and made them *prove* that they had valid licenses for WordPerfect, and then we just installed it for them. --Tom "Suzanne S.

The conversion filters for saving *to* WordPerfect format were removed for security reasons, but I believe they are still available for download (at your own risk, of course) at http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm. Now it's time to get to work on the courts; you might point them to http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/Wo...Converters.htm -- Suzanne S.

"Thomas M." wrote in message ... Word 2003 I support some attorneys that use Word 2003 and need to submit documents to the courts in WordPerfect format. Previously, they had both Word and WordPerfect installed. However, we recently yanked WordPerfect off the machines because it was discovered that a previous Network Administrator installed an illegal copy of the program on those computers. Now the attorneys refuse to buy the proper licenses for WordPerfect because, "We've had it for several years and I'm sure it's legal and you shouldn't have taken it away from us in the first place." So we're at something of an impasse. We can't install WordPerfect on those machine because they have failed to produce an ITPR or any licenses showing that they have previously purchased the software legally, and they refuse to buy the software now, but at the same time they have a requirement to submit documents to the courts in WordPerfect format. Now, a reasonable person would think that the requirement to submit documents to the courts in WordPerfect format would make it well worth the cost of buying 10 or so WordPerfect licenses, but NOOOOOOO... Anyway, what I am trying to do now is set it up so that they can edit WordPerfect files in Word, and then save them as WordPerfect files. The WordPerfect file converters are installed and Word will open the WordPerfect files without any problems. In fact, in the Files of Type drop-down box in the Open dialog box, the WordPerfect 5.x and 6.x options are available to the user. But when the user does a File Save As the Save As Type drop-down box does not contain a WordPerfect option. How can we get Word to save files in the WordPerfect 5.x or 6.x formats? --Tom |
