How do I read .wpd with Word 2004 for the Macintosh? Dataviz's MacLink Plus (www.dataviz.com/products/maclinkplus/) is an excellent application for reading/converting all sorts of file formats. But hang around -- someone else might know something else more specific to WordPerfect. Cheers, Clive Huggan Canberra, Australia (My time zone is 5-11 hours different from North America and Europe, so my follow-on responses to those regions can be delayed) ============================================================ On 17/8/07 9:32 AM, in article uXIMt2F4HHA.5880@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl, > How do I read .wpd with Word 2004 for the Macintosh? The Windows version of Microsoft Word used to be shipped with WordPerfect filters. I'm not sure how reliable they are, and I'm not sure if they're still available in the 2007 edition of Microsoft Office. Also, Open Source software such as AbiWord can read this file format, but it does not support any of WordPerfect's advanced features.

SignatureMichel Bintener Microsoft MVP Office:Mac (Entourage & Word) ***Always reply to the newsgroup.*** Actually, PC Word still does include some - but it depends on how far back the version goes. If you have access to a Windows computer (or a Mac still running Word 98 or Word 2001) you might try opening the doc in Word 2000, 2003 or 2007 (stay away from 2002 -XP- except as a last resort:-)), then Save AS and select Word 97/2003 format in the Save As dialog. That copy should be directly usable in 2004. There are also some of the older WP filters available on MVP Graham Mayor's web site, but I believe they only work with PC Word. If have access to a PC that doesn't already have the filters you can download them at the bottom of this page: http://gmayor.com/downloads.htm Otherwise, Clive's suggestion - MacLink Plus Deluxe - is the most effective & reliable tool on the market. Unless this is a one-time-only need the program is well worth the price:-) Good Luck |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 8/17/07 1:37 AM, in article C2EB00AA.54C5%mbintener@NOSPAMmvps.org, > The Windows version of Microsoft Word used to be shipped with WordPerfect > filters.

Actually you can do it on the web with any browser! http://trial.3bview.com/3BTrial/pages/opendoc.jsp True - as long as you don't mind providing a copy of your files to an uncertified stranger on the web.
