Question:
How can I convert Microsoft® Word documents easily into WordPerfect documents?

Answer:

  1. First, turn on the Microsoft Word Compatibility Toolbar*. To do this, select View and Toolbars. Check the box beside Microsoft Word Compatibility and select OK. A new toolbar will appear.


  2. The third icon from the left on the toolbar will launch the Conversion Utility.


  3. Select the folders of documents you wish to convert. Options include: batch convert folders and subfolders; create a log file; convert to a new folder to keep the originals safe; and specify how to handle duplicate file names.


*Note: there are two alternate ways to access the Conversion Utility:
  1. Select Start/ Programs/ WPO12/ Utilities/ Conversion Utility.
  2. Change workspaces by selecting Tools/ Workspace Manager/ Microsoft Word Mode.

WordPerfect 12: Secure, functional, Word compatible—and very affordable
By Jim Trageser Staff Writer, NCTimes.com

"Not only can you make WordPerfect look and behave just like Microsoft Word, but WordPerfect 12 is better than ever at opening Word documents, and saving to Word formatted-files. In an online demonstration provided by Corel, even complex documents with tables and graphics created in WordPerfect and saved to Word format opened just fine in Word—and vice versa.

So if you use Word at work, you don't need to use Word at home just to stay compatible."
