D Dayo Mitchell Apr 23, 2004 #2 MacWord X doesn't have a wordperfect converter. MacLink Plus from DataViz is respected as an excellent converter for WP and other programs that you can pay for. http://www.dataviz.com/products/maclinkplus/index.html 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 will then be able to open. There's a couple places to get that: http://acmfiles.csusb.edu/corel/wpmac.html OR ftp://ftp.r8ix.com/WP-L_Stuff/ DM PS. For problems such as these, which are Mac-specific, you may be interested in knowing that newsgroups dedicated to MacOffice exist. microsoft.public.mac.office.word microsoft.public.mac.office microsoft.public.mac.office.excel microsoft.public.mac.office.powerpoint microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage You can access these through the MS site, via Google Groups, or by setting up a newsreader.
