Does anyone have any part of a WordPerfect to TeX translator, or
back again? I'm not looking for real magic. Just the rudiments like
centering, bold, italic, underline, block protection, and so on.
WP files use eight-bit codes to represent things like bold on and bold
off, so it shouldn't be too hard to replace them with {\bf and }.
WP doesn't require things to be properly nested, but users can
deal wth that ,I think.

It sounds excellent from their literature. It costs $129. If I were you, this is what I'd do. For an extra $70 you can get a translation program that converts all the main wp programs into WordPerfect, which you can then put into TeX. If you get this, please tell us about it, here in comp.text.
