Whenever I cut and paste from Word Perfect to Word 6.0 I am unable to reformat the document...Is there a way that the text can be formatted?

Try this -When you want to paste the text that you have cut or copied, select the area you want the test pasted. then go to edit on menu bar and select paste special. In the paste special dialog box select Unformatted Text or Unformatted Ynicode Text. Make sure on the left side of box that paste is selected ( vice paste link) then click okay. The text you are pasting should assume the font style etc. of the the document you are placing the text on.

Try saving the Word Perfect document as a text file or cutting and pasting to a text file (Notepad or Wordpad). Then copy the text from there to Word and it should be able to be formatted. If forms are set in Word, change the view to see the Formstool bar and make sure that the document isn't locked.
