Hi Salty
With IBM sort of entering the fold, it would be good to be able to
import Smartsuite files.
My Linux version of OpenOffice.org definitely lists Lotus WordPro as a
file format it can open. I can't check the Windows version of
OpenOffice.org at the moment. That option isn't there?

The LWP filter is not in the official OO.org download, nor in my
official Fedora package. Apparently Ubuntu has added some un-official
patches.
Here's the list of formats supported by the OO.org builds:

I think if IBM was ever going to do something helpful regarding
SmartSuite filters, they would have done it by now. They stopped selling
SS what, 5 or 6 years ago?
I have, in desperation, recovered the text of LWP documents using
'strings' to extract ascii text, followed by several rounds of find and
replace in a text editor and finally re-formatting in OOo. Not fun, but
better than typing it in all over again.
