If you have the appropriate filter you can save Word in any format you want.
If you want to use a filename extension that is not offered by default (the
defaults are set in the Windows registry) then you simply surround the
required filename in quotes. Note that as Word and WordPerfect use entirely
different file structures, formatting of the converted document may not turn
out as you expect.
The old WP converter linked from the downloads page of my web site will
allow documents to be saved in WP format.
