[comp.os.msdos.misc] accessing Word Perfect graphics in Ventura

v105mahs@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (Peter P Donohue) (09/12/90)

    I found a collection of graphics in Word Perfect format (.WPG)
that I would like to be able to use in Ventura (v2.0).  Though Ventura
has a liberal assortment of formats that it can read in, it does not
accept graphics in this format.  Does anyone know how to convert these
pictures to most any other format (without Word Perfect)?
    Thanks for the help.

Check out Hijaak.  It specializes in converting graphics between some
40 different formats (not everything converts to everything else).
It can be obtained mail order for something less than $100.

There is also another product, The Graphics Link (at least I think
that's the name), which purports to do the same and costs about the
same.

Good luck!

Peter, I've tried and tried to do something with WPG files.  I even
have Hijaak (I haven't upgraded to the new one yet though) and it says
that the files are locked and not in expected format.

Although some of the WPG files that come with WP are reasonable for
things like Birthday  invites for your kids they don't seem to be
useful or exportable outside wp.  

Question:  If I own WP 5.1, Ventura, Manuscript etc. etc. can I use the
WPG files for my documents no matter which program I wnat to compose in


Can anyone tell me how to get the WPG files out of WP into somekind of
useable format???????
