Word to Wordperfect no option to "save as"

[revenge]

I have a new install of Office 2003 where everything seems to work just fine
yet certain Word features are just "screwy". Namely is the Save As feature
does not have anything but Word, RTF, and Text if I remember right although
I have gone into the Office setup and told it to install EVERYTHING
especially the converters and such. Word can open a WordPerfect file however
if we try to cut/paste from WP to Word we get an error of something like
"file conversion not known". I'm not sure that error relates directly to the
fact we can't save as a WP file but I suspect it is.

Sorry for the cross post but unsure where this one belongs....

Platform:

WinXP SP2
MS Office Small Business 2003 (fully updated)
WordPerfect 2000 with SP4 I think

I will mention that this same setup works just fine on another PC with
Office XP instead of 03.

This is a problem with Word 2003 (and I believe Word 2002/XP). You need to
get an old conversion file. If you have a Word 2000 or Word 97 installation
you can probably find it. I do not remember the name of the file. I would
hope that someone will post with the file name. I know that I installed it
to my Word 2003 and it will convert to WP 5.0 format.

BTW, the best newsgroup for this is word.conversions.

Another option is to save as RTF as Wordperfect can read RTF files.

I fixed the cut/paste issue by changing the compatibility settings however
we still cannot save as WP files. Saving as RTF is not an option as I'm not
training 20 workers how to take 3 steps to do what they use to do in 1 and
taking all the heat for a feature that SHOULD work.

As far as this old conversion file does anyone have anymore info on this?
Where, how to install, any hacks to make it work, etc???

I found the information on my own web page (I forgot). The file name is
WPFT532.CNV.
http://addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm

Simply copy it over the file of the same name in the Word 2003/2003
installation. (Save your old file under a different name or on a floppy
first just in case.) AFAIK, it works fine. It is slightly larger than the
installation file, I assume that the larger portion includes the information
needed to convert _to_ as well as from these files.
