[comp.sys.mac] WP -> MS Word 4.0

dkanthar@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Devaprasad Kantharaj) (10/31/89)

Alright. Here it goes. I created a document (just text) on Word Perfect.
I want to use my new MS Word 4.0, so I try and load that document. I can't.
I go back into WP and save the file in "text" format. I go back into 
MS Word and it won't even list the file just as before!

Alright. What should I do? I have several documents in WP that I want to 
use with MS Word.

Help? Please?!

Have you tried going back and changing the file type to 'TEXT' with
a file utility like DiskTools II?
