Open the WordPerfect document. Go to File-Save As, or press the F12 key. In
the menu that opens, select "Word document" in the "Save as type" drop-down
box. Give it a new name if you wish, and select the folder into which you
want to save it.

File>Save As, open the list of file types at the bottom of the dialog
window. You *won't* find any WP formats there, but there are some that may
help depending on the nature of the doc & the version of WP. The ones to
consider are Rich Text Format (*.rtf) and Word 97-2003 & 6.0/95 - RTF
(*.doc).

There are also 3rd-Party converter apps on the market as well as filters
available from the 'file converter downloads' posted here:

Just keep in mind that neither option is going to render the document with
100% accuracy.

Glad it was useful, but to set the record straight it isn't *my* page :)

That's the work of MVP Graham Mayor, who graciously maintains it for the
benefit of anyone it can help!

If you have the appropriate filter you can save Word in any format you want.
If you want to use a filename extension that is not offered by default (the
defaults are set in the Windows registry) then you simply surround the
required filename in quotes. Note that as Word and WordPerfect use entirely
different file structures, formatting of the converted document may not turn
out as you expect.

The old WP converter linked from the downloads page of my web site will
allow documents to be saved in WP format.
