I need to convert a WPD file to Word 2004 on the iMac? Where can I find the
software to convert the file?
 
Install all the converters that come with Word and then attempt to open your
WPD doc. What happens? Which version of Word Perfect? If you still have that
version, try saving as a WP 5.1 doc or an .rtf file and then opening from
within Word.

Note: I would never use a converted document for much more than printing
out. I would not include its content in anything I intended to be using
long-term without a lot of cleanup work.

MacLink Plus from DataViz is respected as an excellent converter for WP and
other programs that you can pay for.

The free option would probably be to download a version of WP if you don't
still have it, install it in Classic, and use it to save your documents as
RTF or as Word, which Word X or 2004 will then be able to open. Except
that I have no idea whether the old Mac WP will open newer WP documents.

There's a couple places to get that:

OR

By the way, for such Mac-specific questions involving Word interacting with
other programs or with hardware, it's better to post on the Mac-specific
groups.
