Horst I have this problem..Wordperfect does not like to convert .wp to .rtf and back again. This seems to be true for 'x and 'doze sides of the partition.
Got any ideas?
Forget WP -- is the short & snoddy answer.
I always considered the RTF as the smallest common denominator for simple word-processing (the format is not proprietary, and .rtf documents contain no binary characters). I noticed compatibility limitations when using fancy formatting and embedded graphics. But not supporting RTF at all is a shortcoming of that version of WP.
People on this list have suggested a number of alternative wordprocessors --what is it with WP that makes it so special and indispensible?
Maybe there is a SIG (Special Interest Group) for WP that can help. A search for 'WordPerfect SIG' yielded among otheres: http://mail.ntpcug.org/asp/signotes/SIGpage.asp?sig=wordpfct
Or we need to sit down at a clinic *in front* of your laptop and work on the specific problem. Email can be useful, but sometimes it ends up running in circles and is just a waste of time.
