Open Office 2.0 handles Word Perfect .wpd files

[Grimner]

Open Office 2.0 does a good job of translating the old files into the new millenum
Not perfect with all formatting, but the text is taken well care of and it is happy to eat 300-page documents.

Finally, I'm cleaning out my old .wpd files.

OO 2.0 is pretty awesome. I used the Presentation software last semester in my Marketing Class and everyone was amazed at how good everything looked. They couldn't believe the presentation was created with a free program rather than Microsoft Office.

They still lack in formatting and overall compatibility with some formats, but I'd much rather use it than have to pay for Microsoft's stuff.
