I wonder how many people know that WordPerfect Amiga does postscript?
Just select one of the postscript drivers and configure the output to go to a
file instead of device. This seems to work fine for me.

When I need to do DTP rather than word processing, I switch to Professional
Page. If fact, it has an option for importing Word Perfect files and handles
this fairly well. Since WP is faster, I usually compose the document and spell
check it on WP, then import it to PP.
