Old .wpg files

[Bonnie Keithley]

Using Windows XP and Office 2000

I have a bunch of old WordPerfect graphics which end with the .wpg
extension. I can insert them into a Word document using the insert picture
procedure, but I cannot see the thumbnail image when I go to My Pictures.

Is there any way to convert wpg files to jpg? I no longer have WordPerfect
on my system.

Forgot to mention that I already tried to rename the file with a jpg
extension and it didn't work.

Look for software on the Internet:

good luck!

Most of WordPerfect graphics are vectors. You'd be better served to convert the
images to .wmf. One way to change the images to .jpg is to convert your Word document
to a web page. Word sets up an image file and renames the images to jpg.

Thanks, Mary. I'll give that a try.
