No problem, Vince. My preference when I hit the problem was to stick with AOO since I was still 'learning' it and not have to get involved in yet another program. Good luck! Jan

Tnx Jan.

I have a WP document that is a tabulation of data.  When saving as .doc format, 
then opening with AOO, it got messed up; loss of columns/row lines and blank 
pages.  Perhaps I need to rewrite that data in a database table using AOO Base, 
if this effort fails.

Also, have documents that are letter-type, etc., but have not as yet tried to 
use MS Word (from MS Office 2003/2007) to AOO.

I thought I would try LibreOffice, and did not want to make mistake of using an 
"unusual" download website.

If just a few documents are in question, try www.zamzar.com
Their free online conversions are quite good.

Vince - I'm not a very savvy user of either Word Perfect or AOO but I have been 
using Word Perfect Version 11 for many years.  I was disappointed when I 
recently ran into this problem.  I run on Windows 7.  I tried this and it 
worked -

* open the document in Word Perfect
* open AOO in another window as if you were about to create a new text
   document
* hilite and "copy" the entire text from the Word Perfect file
* "paste" the text into the blank AOO file
* Save in AOO

If your existing documents  are not too big or complex this simplistic 
work-around might meet your needs.  Good luck.

Hello group:
I am using WIN8.1 desktop, WORD PERFECT 12, and want to convert several 
existing documents to AAO 4.1.1, Build 9775.
However, I have read here that LibreOffice supports WP and AAO does not.  If 
that is true, then where do you suggest that LibreOffice be downloaded from?
regards,VinceB.
