A couple of weeks ago I posted a request for help in converting a WOrd
4 document to IBM Word Perfect.  I got a few responses, which I'm
posting here.  

	Use Word 5 - it can write WP 5 for DOS format.

I tried this, but it didn't work very well.  If you knew a lot about
WP it might be ok.

        Use MacLinkPlus translator software.

This is what I actually used.  It did a reasonable job of translating
the file, although it created a few strange effects which I dodn't
really know how to fix.  On the whole it seemed to be not too bad.

        Use Software Bridge

I was unable to try this so I can't comment on its efficacy.
