Converter problems

I work in Word but then have to convert to WordPerfect 5.1 for Dos. This has been doing well until today when I had to convert a doc from WP to Word. A box came up (which I did not read) said something about needing to convert, which was obvious, but now I can no longer save a doc as a WP 5.1x document. It tells me that the converter can not save only open. I have obviously changed something in the conversion. I upgraded this Word from a Word in Office 97 and have not found any downloads for Office 97 converters. I don't use the rest of Office and therefore do not want to pay the enormous amount to upgrade it.

Anywho, it was working fine until I said yes. As I use this 24/7 for work. I hope someone has an idea of what I did and how I can change it back. I have tried reload/repair from the disc. Doesn't help. I don't know if uninstalling and reinstalling would do it. I am afraid the way they make these things now that I won't be able to install it more than once. Does any one have a clue about that

Thanx for any help.
