Solutions: FYI:
WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS:
Microsoft Works 2.0 users have the option of converting documents into another format. The convert option is called Save As (not just Save) and offers an option for Text Only. This option can be used to convert a file into a format that can simply be retrieved/opened into WordPerfect. The Save As conversion also offers an option for Printed Text. This selection may also be used for retrieving files into WP. This option has the potential of maintaining more formatting codes.

WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS and WordPerfect 6.0/6.0a for Windows:
Users want to know the best way to convert/retrieve Microsoft Works 2.0 files into WPWin 6.0a.

MS Works is able to save its files to an MS Word format. It takes the file name of the original file and adds/changes the extension to .DOC. With the document saved as an MS Word format, you can retrieve these files into WPWin 6.0, with much of the formatting codes.
