How can I best convert a huge pile (1000s) of Wordperfect files to Openoffice? There is the libwpd.sf.net project, which contains a wpd2sxw program to convert wordperfect files to Openoffice files. This program i no good for 2 reasons:
1) It segfaults on 2 of 3 wordperfect files I tried, but produced acceptable results on the 3rd one. Openoffice 2.0.2 and 2.1 read all 3 wordperfect files fine. 2) As the name implies, wpd2sxw converts into OO 1.x files. These are non-standard, not widely used, at this point historic, and will soon be dead. Bad choice for converting an archive into. Obviously there must be a functional import filter in OO, but for batch conversion it's necessary to have that as a stand-alone program. Does something like this exist (google doesn't show me)? Are there alternative solution(s)? Thanks, Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
