Being a die hard WordPerfect fan, I hate to facilitate people switching to anything else, BUT, you can save your 5.1 files in 5.0 format (assuming you aren't using any unique 5.1 features in these files) by typing: CNTRL-F5 Text In/Out 3 Save As 2 WordPerfect 5.0 You should wait for WordPerfect for Windows, though.
