Apache OpenOffice does not support WordPerfect format files.

Wrong. It does support WordPerfect files.


Well, I just fired up 3.4 under windows and I can't find a reference to
doing so under the Open Dialog. IIRC it was a decision not to support
the library that did offer the import filter during the build out of the
latest release.

Of course, you are both right. OO.o 3.3 supports *.wpd files, but AOO 3.4 does not; IIRC, one of the many licensing problems with third-party code. Note that 3.3 is still available, from the archives; see the Download page.

Since I'm running both 3.3 and 3.4 (under WV), if you like, the OP can send me a WP file (directly, not on the list!). It will only take a few seconds to open it with 3.3, save as the M$ format, and reopen that one for a quick check. I'll have to send the M$ file back for checking; I don't run M$Office. (Please specify the version of Word and the exact file extension, if you can.)
