if all else fails you can extract the text like you already have & get
the sender to screen capture the charts & email them to you. Or
<shudder> print it out!

Hi
I have been sent a number of files in Lotus WordPro 97 format (.lwp)
and am
having a sh*t of a time opening them. (from a Commonwealth government
department, no less)
Anyway I have so far tried Word v X, Nisus Writer Express, Mariner
Write etc
in OS X. Nothing but text hidden among the gibberish. Same if opened in
BBEdit 7 (even after zapping gremlins). MacLinkPlus (OS X) doesn't
want to
know about the file format. I also tried Word 2000 in VPC and no joy
there
either.
I contacted the sender and whether true or not, they are convinced
that the
files can't be saved as something else (eg .doc .rtf)
Anyone have any further ideas. Some of the files are charts I think,
so I
really would like more than a straight text version.
Thanks
Larry
