I have a friend who is considering a new iBook. He has to use WordPerfect at work. Is Corel planning an X version? I didn't see anything on their site.

If not, has anyone used the MS Word filters for WordPerfect? Do they work flawlessly?

Corel hasn't done anything with WordPerfect for the Mac for a couple of years, to the disappointment of a lot of us. It does work under Classic without problem as far as I can tell.

I seem to recall an X-Windows version of Word Perfect was under way or out or something along those lines. Do a search on google under Word Perfect unix, or perhaps X-Windows.

Also, try this link as a quick starting point: http://www.oit.umd.edu/units/slic/pr...rel/wp8ux.html

I can't on mine. Appleworks says it can't convert them.
