1. Try OpenOffice.org
I love this stuff - they read and save Word files quite well

3. OpenOffice doesn't open WordPerfect documents though...
I tried a few weeks ago. No dice.

2. You can open and convert the files to a text or ASCII.
We just had to do for one of our editors. He was sent a PC disk in WordPerfect. His system is a Mac with Word. We took it to someone else in the office who has a PC. She opened the file in Word and saved it as a text file. It can then be reopened in Word and changed into a .doc file.

4. Do you have MS Word?
If so, and if you have the installation cd, Word can open wpd files and then you can just save it as doc.
