My question is not whether I should use MS Word or WordPerfect - I am perfectly happy with Word, thank you. The real problem is this: which of the two has better conversion options if I want to convert files to and from WordPerfect 5.1 on an IBM machine? (Again, don't worry about me: I'm asking this for somebody else. No really!) I am particularly interested in the new WordPerfect 2.0 (for the Mac), which I probably will not be able to get for a while. But some of you netters may be able to fill me in on its usefulness for this particular purpose. As I don't think this is of very much interest to the Mac community in general, I have taken the liberty of redirecting follow-ups to myself. All help will be much appreciated... -- Leo Breebaart (leo @ duttnph.tudelft.nl)
