[Steven Weiser]

Is there a way to open Wordperfect documents into Word for the Mac?
My partner has a PC, and using his version of Word he is able to open
Wordperfect documents. This feature doesn't seem to be available for
the Mac. Does Office 2004 offer it?

No. The WordPerfect filter has been withdrawn because it never worked
properly. Save the thing out of WordPerfect as a .doc file, or an RTF, or
get your PC partner to convert it for you.

The PC version of the WordPerfect converter only remains around because it
sort of works and Microsoft doesn't want to fiddle around taking it out of
the build routines. It will probably go as soon as well.

Cheers
