    MS Word 4.0 for the Mac has an option in the "Save As..." box which
allows you to specify the format the file is saved in. One of the choices
is MS Word for MS-DOS.

    WordPerfect files are a little more work.  Word for the Mac will also
permit you to save files in "Rich Text Format."  There is an Apple File Exchange
document included with Word which converts from RTF to WordPerfect 4.x format.
If you want to convert to WordPerfect 5.0 or above, I don't know how to help
you.
