i have an elderly friend whose wordperfect appears to be damaged and starts screwing up after about 3 mins.

i'm gonna give him an old computer of mine with MS word on it

IS THERE A WAY TO CONVERT HIS EXISTING WORDPERFECT DOCS TO MS WORD FORMAT?

I've never been much of an MS Office user myself. However, if nothing else NeoOffice can open WordPerfect files. It can also save in MS doc format. So you could use it as a converter to go thru and salvage the files.

AbiWord can open WordPerfect files and save as Word files...it's free and a relatively small 10mb download...
