I guess that makes sense. Of course, in my case, not having Word Perfect in the first place, it's moot point as there'd be no way for a Word Perfect-based virus to affect my system without Word Perfect installed. I tend to take any word processing files I get and convert them to AppleWorks for storing if I'm going to keep them at all. John A.
