     I have tried to convert a Word Perfect 5.0 document into WfW with mixed
results.  The document had lots of tables with fancy formatting using tabs -
these did not turn out well in WfW.  Tabs elsewhere in the document were also
poorly done.  In the end, I found that it was easiest to strip all formatting
from the converted document.  This is easily done in WfW by saving the document
as a text-only file, then reloading it.  Formatting to taste can then be done.
