Hello Geeks,

I am in need of your expert help. I deal daily with a law firm that only
creates documents in Word Perfect. Me -- I am a big fan of Office 2007 and
all its functions I only create documents in Word 2007.

Does MS office 2007 Professional or Ultimate have a add-in that will all me
to save documents as Word Perfct format?

WordPerfect can open MS Word files saved from Word 2007 in Word97-2003 format. MS switched the (aging) WordPerfect converters used
in Word 2007 to read/open rather than also be able to use them to save.

The old filters will still work with Word 2007 within their original
limitations, if you have them available. They can be downloaded from my web
site. Make sure you save the originals somewhere safe first! I suggest a sub
folder of the original folder.

Bob,

I am not sure what your response means can you be a tad more specific?

Thank you,

Graham,

I can open/convert Word Perfect files, edit and save in MS word format. I
need to save the file as a WordPerfect document. The law firm I deal with is
not going to convert. They want every file returned in WordPerfect not in MS
word format.

I guess I missed the locating the filters on your site, my question do I
need the filters with Office 2007?

Thank you,

The filters currently supplied do not, I believe, save in WP format. The
earlier ones do. However it must be remembered that Word and WP formats are
very different and a document from Word saved in WP mode may look nothing
like the original. The earlier filters will work with 2007 - and you'll find
them on the downloads page of my web site
http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm

Graham,

Where can I send a suggestion to the MS Word team where someone will
actually read it?

Have you heard of any rummored Add-in for WP to Word and Word to WP?

Thank you for your input,

Best Regards,

SC

Microsoft removed the function allegedly for 'security' reasons and probably
for commercial reasons also. You can still use the old filter as I have
explained, or you can use some third party tool such as File Merlin. You
still have the issue of disparate file structures to deal with. Doesn't WP
open Word documents?

Graham,

WordPerfect does open MS Word documents. My situation is that the law firm
that I deal with "will not" open or convert the files. It is my
responsibility to ensure proper file format. Thank you for your help.

There is no current converter from Microsoft, and it's extremely unlikely that
the company will create a new one (as Graham said, for commercial reasons; i.e.,
Microsoft sees no profitability in it).

Most likely your best solution is a third-party program, Conversions Plus from
DataViz (http://www.dataviz.com/products/conv...lus/index.html). Maybe you
can get your stubborn client to pay the $50.
