Oops!  Everyone forgot to suggest that Jonathan include this in the
excellent FAQ! :-)
PageView requires at least the %%Page DSC (Document Structuring Conventions)
comments.  I conjecture that Word Perfect omits these (presumably for
compatibility with Microsoft Word :-).

You could:
1) Call WP tech support and try to convince them how irresponsible
   they are.
2) Look for a filter that inserts %%Page DSC in WP .ps files.

I hope I've at least started you in the right direction.
