John, you don't say what operating system you're using, so this is more difficult to answer. If you are running Windows, your best bet if you have a lot of files to convert is to install a 9.x version of WordPro and do the batch conversion process. I think the old versions of StarOffice had the Mastersoft AmiPro filter (AmiPro is where WordPro came from). Otherwise, you can go to http://www.s2services.com/lwp-viewers.htm which is the Lotus website for downloading Key Viewer (runs in Windoze) to view WordPro file contents and copy them from the clipboard. You can open with Lotus KeyView, print to Adobe PDF (you have to have an Adobe PDF Printer), open the PDF with Adobe, save as a Microsoft Word (.dot) file, and it will keep all formatting. Batch converter for WordPro 9.x If you have SmartSuite 9.x, you can use the Batch Converter utility for Word Pro to quickly process your files. This is a free download. To use the batch converter to convert between Lotus WordPro and any other format, such as RTF, Word Perfect, and of course, WordStar, for which you have the conversion filters installed: * Place the downloaded file into any folder and open it in WordPro. * A new menu option will be added to the File menu, and a set of instructions will be displayed. * Select the option, "Batch File Converter..." to start. The converter will convert files in sub-folders and can output to different folders. * Download version 1.23 of the Lotus WordPro Batch Converter from this site. http://www.wordstar.org/wordstar/downloads/BatchConverter.lwp Bob. -- Bob Smits [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
