Word Perfect filters were removed from OpenOffice 4 for copyright
reasons.
To open existing Word Perfect files these should be converted to
OpenOffice formats. www.zamzar.com offer a free online service for
many format types.
With any format conversion there may be need for some slight
reformatting.
I have an archive of old WP docs, Libreoffice opens them. For work I
run WP* in a Windows vm, AOO for the rest.
LO uses:
Inst libwpd-0.9-9 (0.9.4-3 Debian:7.4/stable [amd64])
Inst libwpg-0.2-2 (0.2.1-1 Debian:7.4/stable [amd64])
Inst libwps-0.2-2 (0.2.7-1 Debian:7.4/stable [amd64])
The reason why, the libwp* libraries are licensed LGPL, which is
ineligible for Apache licensed products.

I think (don't know yet, but am going to try) that WordPerfect 7 is
supposed to be installable in WINE, so if you're using Linux, that's
worth a try. Or if you're using Windows, why not just buy the latest
Word Perfect? It's not that expensive, and it's easier to use (in my
opinion) than OO or LO. No "styles" to change your whole document
around when you least expect it!
