Is there any way to open a file in word that was typed in word perfect.?

Answer 1

Microsoft Word can handle it. You may need to download a patch to do it, but I have done it before.

Answer 2

Yes, if its a document created in WordPerfect 6.X or earlier.....
Microsoft Word provides file format converters that enable Word to open documents that were created in older versions of WordPerfect. If your document was created in a version of WordPerfect that is later than 6.x, save it in an older WordPerfect format before you open it in Word.

Note : Word does not provide a converter for saving a Word document as a WordPerfect file. However, you may be able to open your Word document directly in WordPerfect..

To open a WordPerfect file, do the following:

On the File menu, click Open.
In the Files of type list, click either WordPerfect 5.x or WordPerfect 6.x.

Answer 3

You'll need to install the WordPerfect converter - a free download from the Microsoft Site

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/results.aspx?qu=wordperfect+converter&av=DCT000

You can refine the above search by going to that page and putting in your particular version of Office.

I've converted files from as far back as a pre-Windows version of MS Works and WordPerfect.
