   PaperClip allows you to save the document as a PETSCII file (versions f
and later, known as PaperClip II and PaperClip III, allow you to write the
file as real ASCII). You should then be able to XMODEM (or whatever) the
file to the PC and import it as a non-document text file into WordPerfect.

   If you need more help, please netmail; I don't know how useful or
interesting this is to the general public.

P.S.: If it has always been WordPerfect, why are they at version 5.5?
