Fridrich, Both these files (CHARACT6.DOC and TEST.WP - which is the same as the WP51 CHARACTR.DOC) produced very good results when run through wpd2html. Here are some quick notes: 1. Quite a few WP characters have no unicode equivalents, and there is no way to fix that. 2. In TEST.WP (the WP5.1 file), 6,56 through 6,234 didn't convert at all; but these characters are correctly converted in the WP6.x CHARACT6.DOC. You evidently have different tables for 5.x and 6+, and I think you can simply copy the 6,56 through 6,234 mappings from the 6+ table to the 5.x table. 3. In the converted CHARACT6.DOC, I think it may be possible to add these: 2,44 seems to be 0361 2,45 seems to be 035C 4,100 seems to be 1D11E 4,101 seems to be 1D122 6,83 seems to be 2A38 9,83 seems to be 05AA I'll have to check the Hebrew tomorrow, but since I don't know any Hebrew, I'll be guessing. Smokey, I think you know Arabic. Is there any chance you could check these? I finally tested the Arabic WP 5.1 files from this page: http://www.un.org/popin/unpopcom/32ndsess/gass.htm wpd2odt says they are not WordPerfect files. Apparently libwpd doesn't handle documents created by Arabic WP5.1 or Hebrew WP5.1. I hope these details help somewhat, and will try to report more tomorrow.
