I am a Word Perfect user and not very familiar with Word Star. A friend typed a lot of text for me in word-star but doesn't know how to save it in ASCII. When I try to read his document into Word Perfect 5.0 with Text In/Out I get a lot of hierogliphics. Any help appreciated! ***************************************************************************** "Sustainable development can only be pursued if population size and growth are in harmony with the changing productive potential of the ecosystem" U.N.

Any help appreciated! Two approaches: You can save it as a Non-document from WordStar (Used to be 'N' from the main menu.) You can use WordPerfect's CONVERT.EXE program, which will convert to or from WordStar 3.3 (which will take care of most of the imbedded commands from any version of WordStar). Start CONVERT from the DOS command line of your WordPerfect directory.
