If Sunnycoder's method doesn't produce perfect results, try this technique:-<br />

Download OpenOffice from <a href="http://www.openoffice.org" rel="ugc">www.openoffice.org</a>&nbsp;and open the documents using this. &nbsp;Then save them into Word format which should then be readable using MS Office.

We have some users we just hired who have WordPerfect files from their previous job. However, we only use MS Office 2003. Is there a way to open or convert the WordPerfect files so we can open them using MS Office?<br />
<br />
Thanks

How to open WordPerfect file in MS Office

An office suite is a collection of bundled productivity software (a software suite) intended to be used by knowledge workers. The components are generally distributed together, have a consistent user interface and usually can interact with each other, sometimes in ways that the operating system would not normally allow. Most contain a word processor, a spreadsheet, an email client and presentation software; some might contain a database program. Several office suites have their own topics: Microsoft Office, Office 365, LibreOffice (also known as OpenOffice), Lotus IBM and Google Apps.
