Word Perfect 12 document opening

Post by Kingsleystag61 »

How can I open my old Word Perfect 12 files in Open Office? When I attempt to do so I get an O.O. note asking for character format which I cannot work past.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
The Word perfect filters were removed because of licensing issues. See this discussion Problem opening WPD files in OpenOffice 3.4 for a solution.

Please add '[Solved]' at the beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.
