Help! I'm trying to convert from Word Perfect.
I am (trying) to use Word 2000.
Is there a way to convert WP documents (.wpd) to Word documents (.doc) without losing formatting, etc? My immediate problem is this: I opened a previously created document in WP (.wpd). I then saved it as a ..doc Word file. (The only option available was for Word 6.0/7.0) Everything seemed to go OK. Now the document opens OK in Word, but when I attempt to print, I get a warning box that "The margins are outside the printable area of the page." If I tel it to continue to print, it prints the page but the left margin is 2-3/8" in from the left edge of the page, and the right side of my page is off the sheet and doesn't print. I have looked at page setup, and all margins are set at 1", which is also where the magins were set in Word Perfect. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks -- Jim |

Does saving your document as *.rtf (Rich Text Format) in WordPerfect helps?
