The office network I manage has several useres who were word perfect users, and have a large resource of *.wpd documents. We researched into staroffice and what we found is that it advertized being able to import *.wpd files, ecclent. We then placed our order for mdk 9 for upgrade purposes and because it had star office bundled with it.just a workaround: can't you copy .wpd -> .doc -> .sxw ?
Well I got the staroffice rpms installed and tried opening a wordperfect document, well nothing :-(
I then checked the documentation, and tried a custom install for the purpose of selecting the filters I wanted installed. Unfortunatly it seems the advertized *.wpd filter was not included.
