Text converter for Word 2002 = .wpd

[Guest]

When trying to open .wpd documents from a web site, I get an error stating
that the current text converter is old and and does not work with my version
of Word (2002). What do I do?

The old converter for Word Perfect is linked from the downloads page of my
web site. It does work, but there is a minor security risk inherent in using
it and so it has been withdrawn.

Save the files from the web site to your hard drive and open them from
there.

I've tried saving the files to the hard drive... it makes no difference. Any
other suggestions?

Did you download the converter from Graham's site?

I'm confused... why is Office XP/Word 2002 giving me this error? Which
converter are you referring to?

In order to open some WP files, you have to have older converters. They are
available at Graham's site. You can download and install them. With them you
can open the WP files, which you should save to your HD before trying to
open them. You may get a security warning, which you can ignore.

I cannot find the text converter that everyone is referring to. I'm trying
open a WP 7 file into Word 2003. I'm getting the "old text converter"
message. Help please! Thanks!
