Anyone who can convert a .wpd to a .doc for me, please send me a PM

On a side note, why is this always such a problem?

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

open Word, open wpd document, when prompted say "convert to Word XXX format"

Tell me this was sarcastic.

Try this. Open both docs. In the source doc do a Ctl-A followed by a Ctl-C. Go to the blank word doc and hit Ctl-V. If you're lucky the formatting will be preserved.

You could try this but types are rather limited unless your app can save to one of those.

Anyone? Word couldn't do it and I could still use the help.

I think I've used this before but it has been a while so it may not work for you.

converter

To use it:
- download the executable file from the above link
- when the download finishes, execute the wp6rtf.exe file and it will install
- To open the .wps file, open Word
- Go to File - Open
- In the 'Files of Type' drop down box, scroll down to 'Works 6.0 (.wps)' or Works 4.0 (.wps) and select
- Now browse to the folder that contains the .wps files you would like to open
- The files should open normally
- At this point you can go to File - Save As and click the drop down 'Files of Type' button as before and choose Word Document (.doc) which should be the first choice.

try to get your hands on corel wordperfect. i think they were making it til not too long ago (maybe still are). and i think it might have been included on ibm's in the past (when they were trying to push other stuff than ms office).
would you happened to not have installed the converters for word? it's an option when you install it, to choose which things you want converters for.
also, is this a really old word perfect document? if so, i'm guessing ms word won't support it

and try to view it with this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889347

Open Office will do it, but probably poorly if you have pictures in it.
