Re: Word03 SBE - Saving as WordPerfect file...possible?

I would not disagree with anything you say except that the Word Perfect
filter can fail spectacularly in preserving Word's formatting if
extensive use is made of certain features. I have many
similarly-formatted documents with which, when opened on Word Perfect,
has pages which are only half-filled, many paragraphs whose first letter
of the first line are missing and so on. However, that is exceptional.

What I hope I conveyed, taking the totality of my messages, is that
various solutions should be tested in use. Each has pluses and minuses.

All the best.
