I am trying to convert labels from wordperfect 6.x to word 2003. The labels
are on 8 1/2 by 11 sheets 10 rows by 2 columns. (Avery 5261 paper). When
converting they loose all the formatting. I have several files that have to
be converted so this is not a quick job. Any assistance would be appreciated.

After converting the document to Word format, convert that in turn to
a mail merge source document
(http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm or
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/mailmerge/...lecontent.htm).
Then merge to labels
(http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm or
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/mailmerge/...MailMerge.htm).

There are also some macros to download linked from my site that convert wp
labels to word format.
