How to convert docs from word to wordperfect for courts?
Some courts in Northern California require documents to be in WordPerfect.
Is there an easy way to save or convert a document created in Word 2003 to this format? |

File SaveAs. Select 'Word Perfect' from the Files of Type list.

Conversion back to Word Perfect: There is a problem with Version 2002 (XP)
and later of Word. The conversion file only works for conversion _to_ Word, not from Word to Word Perfect! Earlier versions went both ways. To fix this, you need to find the old conversion file WPFT532.CNV from a Word 97 or Word 2000 installation and copy it to your new installation, replacing the file of the same name. Note, the change making the file one-way was done as a security measure. While I don't know of any problems the old file causes, keep the new installation's file somewhere as a backup just in case. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Otherwise, see if they will accept pdf files. You'll be much more certain
that the document they read looks like the one you sent. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

My Word 2003 converts from Word to WP without problems. It gives an ominous
security warning, but it works. "Charles Kenyon" wrote in message ... Conversion back to Word Perfect: There is a problem with Version 2002 (XP) and later of Word.

In that case you probably still have the old version of the filter
installed. Recent security upgrades have removed this option. Maybe (like me) you add updates to fix problems that exist for you rather than simply because they are available?

Check on the size of the file. The new one is about half the size of the old
one. 166 KB - new limited file, 333 KB old file from Word 2000 before it got zapped. -- 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://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Stranger and stranger. The version of WPFT532 I have was definitely provided
with my Word 2003. 284KB, with a Microsoft certificate date stamped 15 July 2003. With comment 'Export enabled'. Mine was a non-US version of Office, which might be the difference.

Hmmm. There are obviously more than the two versions
 The one that is problematical is 2003.1100.5510.0 file size 167kb The one linked from my web site is 1998.1.27.0 file size 333kb. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jezebel wrote: Stranger and stranger.
