How do I convert a Word Perfect document (WPD) to Word without actually owning Word Perfect?

Question

Word itself won't import the file, either.

Answer 1

Go into the control panel and click the Add/Remove programs icon
Find MS Word (or MS Office if you purchased the whole package)
Click on it to highligh it
Click the Change/Remove button
Select that you want to add a feature
Look under Word for convertors and filters
Should be one there for Word Perfect
Add it
You will need to insert the Word/Office CD for it to copy the filter
If you do not have the CD, you can download the filter from microsoft.com

Answer 2

Agree with Toodles. Office comes with WPD converters that are installed during initial install, or upon demand from the install CDs.

Answer 3

There are converters including Wordperfect converters that come with office, but they may not be on the default install. Re-insert your Office CD and install the converters and filters - that should do the trick!
