Save as Word Perfect?

[Guest]

I have installed the converter but when I go to save I cannot see any Word
Perfect file option. I just upgraded from 2000 and it worked fine.

The old WordPerfect converter in Word 97 and 2000 could both open and save
as. The WordPerfect converters in Word 2002 and 2003 can only open. The
converter was changed to improve security. If you need the ability to save
as WP, you may (at your own risk) reinstall the old WP converter in your
current version of Word.

I tried doing that but it did not work. Maybe I did it wrong or something.
Any suggestions?

The old WP converter was about 300 kilobytes. The new one is about half
that size. Which one do you have? How did you install it?

You can use either the old or the new file if you have these registry keys:
