I have a lot of old Wordperfect documents archived which I am not likely to need to open - but occasionally I want to refer to them.
I found WordPerfect Spotlight & Quick Look Plug-ins <http://homepage.mac.com/herr/> This allows spotlight to search the files and gives quicklook the ability to view the files - this is just the best solution for me - select the file and press the spacebar and browse away :o) It was at version 3 when I installed it - and it worked perfectly (and still does) - however I see it is now at version 3.5 so don't know what the difference might be. Did I mention it's FREE :o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
