If you have access to a PC (or have SoftPC on your Mac), you should be
able to write the WordPerfect file to RTF format, which Word 4.0 can
read. I'm pretty sure this is how we did it the one time we needed to
do this type of thing.

There are also several conversions floating around on the BBSs which
can convert WordPerfect to Word for the PC, which word for the Mac can
read and write fairly well.
