Word Perfect 3.5 -> Microsoft Word

I have issues, OK!
Anyone know of a tool / application / utility that will convert Novel Word Perfect 3.5 files into Microsoft Word X files?
 
Does Word Perfect support saving files as Rich Text Format? RTF is a standard readable by almost everything from TextEdit to MS Word.
 
WordPerfect 3.5 can save in a variety of formats;

MS Word, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0
HTML Export
RFT Export
Text Export

If you can, resave the files in MSWord 6.0. They'll open fine in WordX.

Thanks for that, but there is just one flaw - I don't have Classic, either!

I dumped Classic over a year ago. But, I'll dig around for a copy.

Thanks again!..

MacLinkPlus Deluxe... does a great job of converting any text file.

I've just been to their web site. They have loads of demos, but _not_ the demo for MacLinkPlus.

Grrr!
 
Yes, we had this discussion on MacLinkPlus elsewhere in the forum - they really should offer a demo!!! I bet about 5 people on this very forum would have bought it from a demo this past month had one been available!!!

I'd _never_ buy something like a document conversion tool, there's just no point for me. This is the first time something like this has happened since I was at college.

Microsoft Word X seems to open the files, but there's so much garbled crap that I can't figure it all out. Plus, all of the formatting is gone [which, I suspect is the garbled crap]

No need to get your BVDs in a bunch.

Although not I'm not entirely sure what they might be, I can assure you that no part of my anatomy is in an entangled state or otherwise clumped together [at least not while standing and wearing appropriate under garments].

Thanks to all who chipped in to help out. If I need any more help, I'll let you know...
 
Octane,

You may find in time that you just may need a conversion app. Especially if you continue to work on a Mac and the rest of your company is on the other machine. It will take away the garbled stuff and you will be able to convert the document back to a windoz format to send to a windoz person.

Thanks, Cheryl.

Without wanting to sound patronizing, I already know this. The problem is, it's just a one-off job. I don't want to have to pay for something I'll probably never use again.

To give a little background, the files are a bunch of novels I wrote some years ago. I want to bring them into Microsoft Word...
