Info: We are using a Microvax II with WP-5.0. The administrative secretaries h ad been using Display Write 4 (ack!) on IBM PC's. Q: Is there any conversion program written to make this transition any smoother ? Text In will solve the problem, but then there is the process of fixing the documents after all of the special formatting stuff is gone.

You should be able to put the DisplayWrite4 documents in RFT (Revisable-Form- Text (IBM DCA Format)), then use the WordPerfect Convert program to convert the RFT files to WordPerfect. I've used this method to convert 5520 documents and on *standard* letters, etc. have retained *most* of the formatting. However, some of our users don't use TABS or AUTO Returns so some re-formatting was necessary. Hope this helps.
