How do I save MSWord files in WordPerfect format?
I used to be able to do this, but now the Word 2002 from Office XP software
gives me a message saying "Word cannot save files in the WordPerfect 5.x" format (even though that is one of the choices on the pull-down save-as menu). It goes on to say that the converter can ONLY view Wordperfect files, but cannot convert from Word to Wordperfect (and I have the latest office updates, per the site update tool). |

That is correct... I think it was Service Pack 3 for Office XP that
replaced the read/write WordPerfect 5.x converter with a new read-only version because the read/write converter could allow malicious macros to run or viruses to be installed. If you so desire, you can reinstall the old WP5.x converter from your Office XP CD.

Correction: The WP5.x converter that comes with Office XP is read-only,
but you can install the WP5.x converter from a previous version of Office or download the old converter from Word MVP Graham Mayor's website http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm . garfield-n-odie wrote: That is correct...
