Creating a template would be trivial, if one either:
* has the specifications;
* has a working version of the program;

I have no idea if the version of WordPerfect I have, will run on my
current system. (It came with either Mandrake 1.0, or Corel's Linux
Desktop. I use Ubuntu Christian Edition.)

OOo menus can be customized to reflect the layout of WordPerfect.
Some, but not all of the keystroke combinations can also be remapped
to that which was used by WordPerfect.

[Personally, I'd rather remap to the WordStar Command set.  But that
requires rewriting the OOo code.]

The major  feature that WordPerfect users want, that OOo does not
direclty offer is  Reveal Codes;

In OOo Reveal codes add zero functionality.   None the less, there is
a macro that will provide something similar to Reveal codes in Write,
and a second macro does that for Calc.
