I have a big conversion project that involves converting documents, forms,
and templates from WordPerfect 12 to Word 2007. I welcome any hints,
suggestions, comments, methods, etc. that anyone may have.

Hi Denilynn

I have a big conversion project that involves converting documents, forms,
and templates from WordPerfect 12 to Word 2007. I welcome any hints,
suggestions, comments, methods, etc. that anyone may have.

MSFT does not offer any WP2Word converter (not for a long time, anyway).
In effect, this usually means that you need to convert these things in
WP (Save as: DOC or RTF).

Bulk converting DOC to DOCX can be done with a tool mentioned here:

I went to the link and the Office Migration Planning Manager page referenced
is no longer available. Any ideas?

I have no problem getting to
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d7-a8bc-40ef-8281-dd2c325a5a81&displaylang=en
by clicking the "Office Migration Planning Manager" link in the blog page.
But try clicking the link in this message instead.

I can get into that page, but I couldn't get into the "Office Migration
Planning Manager guide" link that was on that page. Sorry, I wasn't clear on
that!

Ah, I see. It looks like they moved it and forgot to update the link. Google
found it at
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Offic...27f7-4353-96f6-42a08d66ed5b1033.mspx?mfr=true
with a link there to a downloadable .doc file (about 1 MB) at
