Coulda fooled me, I just opened a wpd document in standard 2.4.1 and standard OOo3-dev (linux) just fine. Have you checked your File|Open types lately? Futher, before sending someone off to and MS solution, both OxygenOffice (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop) and Go-oo (http://go-oo.org/discover/) open wordperfect documents just fine.
