I need to convert a Word Perfect 8.0 file into Word 2000. Can this be done in Word 2000 or is there another way we can do this? Note: We received a Word perfect 8 file and we do not own wordperfect 8.0. So we will need to convert it. Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks.

Try opening the file in Word 2000 - as long as all the filters for Word Perfect are installed it should automatically convert it. Note - some features or display may be lost but that would be normal. but most everything text, pics, etc should be there.

From MS:
"Microsoft Word currently does not convert files directly from WordPerfect versions 7.0 and 8.0."

To see the work arounds, type the following into the address box of Internet Explorer:
