I have the same problem. The only way I have found to open a wpd document is to save it to my desktop, go to Virtual PC where I have Word Perfect installed and open it there. It's a lot of hassle and expense to have Virtual and Perfect. We should all get together and write Microsoft to add a Word Perfect opener to MS Office for Mac. If memory serves me, you used to be able to open any word processing document in MS Word.

.wmv is windows media. Try downloading and installing the Windows Media player for Mac from Microsoft.

I thought one of the selling points of the Mac was that it can get along in the Windows world and open docs created in Windows. But someone just e-mailed me a file with the suffix .wpd on it, and when I try to open it the Mac keeps asking what application I'd like to use with it. Every text or word processing app I've got says it can't. Anybody know how I can get a .wpd file to open?

I've had a few .wmv files sent too, and can't open them (B&W Rev A, OS9.2).
