Has anyone ever converted nroff format files to Word-Perfect compatible?

I have some files which are produced in nroff format which need to be
converted to WP format on a regular basis.  

They consist of tbl format lists in about five columns.  Even converting
to a regular ascii file would do.  I have tried to filter them through 
col but the vertical bars still get printed on the line followed by a CR 
and then the text for the columns.

If anyone has a simple way of doing this I would love to hear about it.
