I have a document that was created with WordPerfect 5.0 on an IBM and I would like to be able to transfer it onto a Macintosh so that Microsoft WORD can cope with it. Does anyone know of a translator for Apple File Exchange or some other way of doing this successfully. I would like to retain all of the formatting, etc if possible.

MicroSoft has written the appropriate Apple File Exchange modules to convert WordPerfect 4.x/5.0 files to Rich Text Format (RTF) which can be read by MS Word. I found the files on AppleLink. It works. Mike Cherry cherry@frodo.mgh.harvard.edu Department of Molecular Biology Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston 617-726-5955

I'm pretty sure this is how we did it the one time we needed to do this type of thing. There are also several conversions floating around on the BBSs which can convert WordPerfect to Word for the PC, which word for the Mac can read and write fairly well.

Not only for this translator, but for any other freeware/shareware AFE translators, as well. -- Richard Straka |AT&T Bell Laboratories, IH-6K311 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- UUCP: att!ihlpf!straka |MSDOS: All the wonderfully arcane INTERNET: richard.straka@att.com |syntax of UNIX(R), but without the power.
