Tried all the other applications, the best I could get was Word's "recover text from any file" import option. Unfortunately, that left out some rather important parts. Opening in text edit gave a screen full of giberish with the relevant text interspersed throughout (sorry about the spelling), but it would be a pain to extract it, and again there seemed to be some important parts missing. I finally broke down and reinstalled WP and classic, and managed to save the files as rtf.
