The conversion from WP to Word is by no means perfect so personally I would
recommend converting them on an ad hoc basis as they are required rather
than as a batch process all at once.
The Works converter for Word 2007 on my web site should be easily be adapted
to Word Perfect, assuming the WP converter is installed. Open the add-in
template in Word 2007 and change the reference to the filename extension
from wps in the line
Const FileType = "*.wps"
to (I assume) wpd
and change the lines
strDocName = strDocName & ".docx"
oDoc.SaveAs FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strDocName, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocumentDefault
to
strDocName = strDocName & ".doc"
oDoc.SaveAs FileName:=strFolder & "\" & strDocName, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument97
to force the save to the halfway house Word 97-2003 format rather than Word
2007 format.
You might want to edit the dialogs also. To edit the ribbon you will need
the Office 2007 Custom UI Editor which you can download from Microsoft.
If you want to cross my palm with silver, by making a donation to my web
site, I will convert the add-in and its dialogs for you.
You will need to confirm that your WP documents have the extension wpd.
