One of today's callers was having problems getting WordPerfect documents to open in the OpenOffice Writer word processor. The best thing to try is:

  1. Have the most current version of OpenOffice installed
  2. Start OpenOffice Writer
  3. Click File --> Open
  4. Change the file type to WordPerfect, then find and double-click the document

Here are some resources for more information on opening WordPerfect docs in OpenOffice.
