I have a document I need to edit. It was created in Word. Then someone
edited it in Word Perfect. It was then sent to me in .doc format and my
computer said it was corrupted. They resent it in .wpd format (Word
Perfect), and now I can't open it because I don't have Word Perfect. Is
there some alternative? When I try to open it in Word, Word Perfect is not
in the list of formats I can convert from. I need to keep the formatting.
Any suggestions short of buying MacLinks Plus?

ASAP please if you have them, and thanks so much in advance.

Hi Martha,

You can have them save it as RTF and send it to you. You should then be
able to open it in Word without any trouble, but you may lose some
formatting. I take it they don't have Word or they would have used it.
