Drooling over the arrival of my MDK 9.0 DVD edition, I quickly found the rpm corresponding to a long awaited application. Only to be soon disapointed. The office network I manage has several useres who were word perfect users, and have a large resource of *.wpd documents. We researched into staroffice and what we found is that it advertized being able to import *.wpd files, ecclent. We then placed our order for mdk 9 for upgrade purposes and because it had star office bundled with it.
Well I got the staroffice rpms installed and tried opening a wordperfect document, well nothing :-( I then checked the documentation, and tried a custom install for the purpose of selecting the filters I wanted installed. Unfortunatly it seems the advertized *.wpd filter was not included. I would very much like to obtain it, is there a sight from wich it can be downloaded, patched or purchased. We are trying to migrate our files to the more compact xml filetype that openoffice, staroffice, and other multii Operating System word processors are now using. It is important that a way of filtering or importing *.wpd documents be made avaliable on our system. If anyone knows where I can obtain such a filter for staroffice or other please send me the nessicary information. I thank you for your help. Brent
