Wolfville NS Canada B0P1X0 (902)542-2201x121 There's a package called Software Bridge that performs conversions between 8 or 9 different word processors with good results. They make a version of it called Perfect Exchange that is specifically designed (read: limited) to go to and from wordperfect. Software Bridge goes for $150 list, I don't know the price for Perfect Exchange. The company can be reached at: Systems Compatibility Corp. One East Wacker Drive, Suite 1320 Chicago, IL 60601 312/329-0700 Best of luck! -- Dan Crimmins crimmins@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu
