There is no Lotus WordPro filter in the standard OOo. However, the nice thing about open-source is that others may take the code and modify and/or enhance it. You have 2 options (I am assuming that you use Windows): 1. You can download and install alternate OOo's from Go-oo or Oxygen Office: both will provide you with an appropriate filter and are very reliable branches of OOo. Links are here: http://go-oo.org/ http://go-oo.org/download/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop/ http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=170021 2. If you have Lotus WordPro still installed, export your files to another format. Note: there is a 3rd option that you can use, but I am not familiar with it - IBM's Symphony: http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.jspa they use a long outdated version of OOo, and some say it takes a considerable amount of memory and cpu, but should work. -- You have been cc'd on this post as you have posted to an open OOo mailing list.
