Unable to open WordPerfect X3 files in OpenOffice

[berenlazarus]

Hello

I am unable to open my documents created in Word Perfect X3 (and some in X4) when I use Open Office 3.4.0, running XP. When I attempt to open any file, it says "ASCI Filter Options: Properties". Then it has the following drop headers, each with drop downs to select "Character Set, Default Fonts, Language, Paragraph Break". This occurs with all documents that I have tried opening. All documents work fine in Wordperfect.

Thanks in advance.

However, you are best off converting your files to OpenOffice formats. I'd use

and convert them all and be done with it.

What makes you think that this program supports these file formats? WordPerfect is a Corel product with a highly sophisticated and proprietary (top secret) file format.

AOO WordPerfect import had been dropped with 3.4 due to licensing and security issues.
