If one searches by name all are on the net for download.  This is 
abandonware in most cases as to legal status.  There is an official word 
5.1 that ms made availble for free and was on the net.  Note the 5.1

There was a site that was making word perfect compatible with current usage

There was a utility to pull plain text from word documents.  Most mac word 
and text type software can inport old word and wp documents, and perhaps

If a google doesn't bring these to you I can most likely get them from my 
dos bookmarks.
