It is my understanding that MS Word 5.1a for the Macintosh will read 
WordPerfect 5.1 DOS files directly.

You could also use the WordPerfect export to RichText format option to do 
the same.  There is also a few hints and tips about WordPerfect PC to MS 
Word Mac translation in the manual for Word 5.0 I believe.  

Oh, also check out on Sumex in the Utils directory for a AFE translator.  I 
remember picking one up there once.

Of course, WordPerfect Mac will read WordPerfect PC files directly...
