A friend of mine has a document written using Paperclip on her Commodore
128. I have to help her edit it, but I prefer to use Wordperfect (5.0) on
my PC. Is there any program that is able to convert Paperclip files on
Commodore 64/128 systems to Wordperfect or other similar formats on PCs?

PaperClip allows you to save the document as a PETSCII file (versions f and later, known as PaperClip II and PaperClip III, allow you to write the file as real ASCII). You should then be able to XMODEM (or whatever) the file to the PC and import it as a non-document text file into WordPerfect. If you need more help, please netmail; I don't know how useful or interesting this is to the general public. Geoff P.S.: If it has always been WordPerfect, why are they at version 5.5?
