Hi Phil,

If you can't get Word to do the conversion, the newer Word Perfect 
for Windows programs will open those old WP for DOS files and does a 
really good job of saving them in Word format.  The WP folks know 
it's more important for them to be able to import and export Word 
documents thanb for Microsoft Word to be able to import and export WP files.
