How to convert docs from word to wordperfect for courts?

[Makeitanz]

Some courts in Northern California require documents to be in WordPerfect.
Is there an easy way to save or convert a document created in Word 2003 to
this format?

Conversion back to Word Perfect: There is a problem with Version 2002 (XP)
and later of Word. The conversion file only works for conversion _to_ Word,
not from Word to Word Perfect! Earlier versions went both ways. To fix this,
you need to find the old conversion file WPFT532.CNV from a Word 97 or Word
2000 installation and copy it to your new installation, replacing the file
of the same name. Note, the change making the file one-way was done as a
security measure. While I don't know of any problems the old file causes,
keep the new installation's file somewhere as a backup just in case.

Otherwise, see if they will accept pdf files. You'll be much more certain
that the document they read looks like the one you sent.

In that case you probably still have the old version of the filter
installed. Recent security upgrades have removed this option. Maybe (like
me) you add updates to fix problems that exist for you rather than simply
because they are available? FWIW the older converter is linked from my web
site - http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/WPCONV.ZIP

Check on the size of the file. The new one is about half the size of the old
one.
166 KB - new limited file, 333 KB old file from Word 2000 before it got
zapped.

Hmmm. There are obviously more than the two versions
The one that is problematical is 2003.1100.5510.0 file size 167kb
The one linked from my web site is 1998.1.27.0 file size 333kb.
