Why does converter with Word 2002 not convert to WP5.x?
The converter that came with Word 2002 is supposed to convert files to and
from Word 2002 and WordPerfect 5.x for Windows. It has an option in the "save as" menu for doing so, and the Microsoft website indicates that this can be done. However, when attempting to convert from Word to any WordPerfect format, including 5.x for Windows, I get a message, "Word cannot save WordPerfect 5.x for Windows files. The converter for this format can only open files." Anyone have any ideas? |

Why does converter with Word 2002 not convert to WP5.x?
The WordPerfect 5.x converter originally supplied with Word 2002
and Office XP could both import from and export to WordPerfect 5.x format. But that converter contained a security vulnerability, and one of the Office service packs replaced the original converter with an import-only version. You can, at your own risk, reinstall the original converter from your Word 2002 or Office XP CD, or download it from Word MVP Graham Mayor's website http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm .
