Problem

Symptoms: Into which formats can Word for Windows 1.0 save files? How are MS Word files converted into a WordPerfect file format? Solutions: it can save out documents as WordPerfect 4.1, WordPerfect 4.2, and WordPerfect 5.0 files. It also says that it can read them. The following are direct quotes from the Word User's Reference Guide: SAVING A WORD DOCUMENT IN WORDPERFECT FILE FORMAT: 1. Choose File Save As (Alt,F,A), and then choose Options. 2. Type a name for the document. 3. Choose File Format (Alt+F). 4. Choose WordPerfect (press W until WordPerfect is selected), and then choose OK. Saving a Word document in WordPerfect file format means that any formatting or other processing that WordPerfect does not perform or understand is discarded from the document version that is stored on disk and will not be available the next time you open that document. The document you see on the screen contains the document text as you created, edited, and formatted it so long as the document remains open in Word. (pp. 397-398, Word User's Reference Guide). OPENING A WORDPERFECT DOCUMENT: 1. Choose File Open (Alt,F,O). 2. Type or select the name of the WordPerfect document, and then choose OK. 3. Select the correct version of WordPerfect, and then choose OK. Word automatically converts the file to Word Normal file format. A message in the status bar at the bottom of your screen shows you the percentage of the conversion completed so far (p. 397, Word User's Reference Guide).
