Converting WordPerfect 12 files to Word 2003
Thanks Charles. I'm unsure of which suggestion you are recommending the
most. I think you're suggesting to first see if the files can be saved as a Word file within WP. Am I right? I'd hate to have multiple versions of one file (.rtf, .txt...) if I can help it. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Save them as WP 6.0, WP 5.1, .rtf and text. See if within WP, there is a save as Word file option as well. Use these to recreate the documents in Word. Which version will work best for you depends on what you have going on in each document. Don't create new documents based on conversions, you'll spend all your time figuring out and fixing inane formatting inserted by the conversion program. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup. Please post replies and questions to the newsgroup so that others can learn from my ignorance and your wisdom. "Curious" wrote in message ... Before converting to Word 2003, I'd like to know if I should save my WP files as .rtf format or as version 6.0 (as I've read in some help screens) or should Word convert automatically. These files may have tables, and a fair amount of text and paragraph formatting applied. Do I really need the ABC Amber WordPerfect converter mentioned in the March 27th discussion? Thanks in advance! |
