As a last chance, you may program your own driver.
WPCorp sells a manual called "Word Perfect Developers toolkit" for
about 100 DM (65 $). It explaines (very brief) all the file formats (Doc.,
.PRS,.ALL,.WPG) and how to write your own graphics driver (.WPD). 
Some examples on a floppy are included.
You need MASM, LINK and EXE2BIN to do it.

Hope this helps,
