How do I open .WPD in Word 2004 on iMac w/Intel Processor?
When I try to open a .wpd (WordPerfect from PC) file from the "File Open"
menu in Microsoft Word 2004 I just get a bunch of code. I tried all the selections available. There is no selection for WordPerfect. What do I do? |

How do I open .WPD in Word 2004 on iMac w/Intel Processor?
Hi Kokie,
Sorry--not much you can do in MacWord. Options: 1) Ask the person to Save As RTF or .doc in Word Perfect and resend it. 2) Download one of the free word processors. I have opened WordPerfect documents in AbiWord. The conversion is not perfect, but it was basically functional. http://www.abiword.com/ I can't remember whether NeoOffice will open WordPerfect documents, the website may say: http://neooffice.com/ This is definitely a Mac-specific problem and would have gotten a *much* faster response on the Mac-specific groups: See here for Google/Entourage gateway to newsgroups for MacWord, MacExcel, and other MS programs for the Mac: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups (but if you hadn't put 2004 in the subject line, I never would have seen it at all. Good going) More info on using Newsgroups: http://word.mvps.org/Mac/AccessNewsgroups.html On 9/28/06 12:13 PM, "Kokie" wrote: When I try to open a .wpd (WordPerfect from PC) file from the "File Open" menu in Microsoft Word 2004 I just get a bunch of code.
