Subject: Re: WP6.0 -> Word6.0 conversion
WinWord 6.0 should convert WordPerfect 6.0 OK. Not everything will be
great, but it should be close.

Because you don't have all the filters, I am wondering if you did a full
installation of WordPerfect 6.0. Sometimes people do a custom installation
to save space and then wonder why they lose some of the features.
