There are several ways of doing this :

1. Use Microsoft Word 3.0 to save your files in Interchange (RTF) format.
   Use the DCA Conversion program that comes with Word to convert this RTF
   file to DCA/RFT format.  Transfer the resulting file to the PC using a
   binary file transfer protocol.  Use the Convert program that comes with
   PC Word Perfect to convert the DCA file to Word Perfect format.  This works
   fairly well.                          

2. Use MacLink Plus to do both the transfer as well as the translation.  The
   latest version of MacLink Plus (Version 2.11) supports Word Perfect format.

3.  Use Apple File Exchange to convert your file to DCA, transfer to the PC
    and then use Word Perfect Convert.  A MacWrite to DCA translator comes with
    the Release 6.0 of Apple System software.

4.  Use Word Perfect on the Mac to open the MS Word file, save in PC Word
    Perfect format, transfer to the PC.


There are other ways, using DaynaLink, LapLink Plus or using Mac286.
