I have been experimenting with the conversion software that comes with
WfW 1.1. I converted a simple WfW document to WordPerfect 5.0, then
converted it back from WP 5.0 to WfW. (This is the best I can do, as I
don't have WP to see how it converted).  The text was very corrupted. It
had all moved to the right, and the nice hanging indents were all
jagged. According to the documentation, there are only suppose to be a
few minor incompatabilities between the two programs. Have I done something
wrong?  Has anyone out there converted WfW to/from WP with any success?

Just curious
