Going through some old files, from years and computers past, I found some
..wpd files from WordPerfect that I had stored. Microsoft Word 2004 or
2008
wouldn't handle or even recognize the files. Apple Pages also was no
help.
In searching Google I found the following link:
http://www.zamzar.com/
This site does free file conversions from one file format to another. You
upload the file to convert and then provide your email address for them to
mail you the converted file to.
Just in case you have old files, like I do, hanging around but no longer
have the program that they came from.
