The original poster already told us this :
" I can open a wpd document and save it"

How is what you said different than what I advised?
"Short answer is you can't. MS currently does not support the native
OOo file format (ODF)."
The only difference is that I used the file format name (OASIS Open
Document Format for Office Applications) instead of the file name
extension.

Again - from your response, how was mine 'messing things up'?
"You'll have to convert the .wpd file into something else (eg, RTF,
.doc) for it to be imported into OOo."

I didn't know wpd stood for Microsoft...
Maybe I'd better not bother answering any more questions on the list and
mind my own business.
