Converting batches of Microsoft Word files to WordPerfect

WordPerfect has an option for converting multiple Microsoft Word files simultaneously: the Conversion Utility. It can convert documents, including those created in various versions of Microsoft Word, to one of five WordPerfect file formats.

If you chose the standard installation of WordPerfect Office, the Conversion Utility should be available by default. If it’s not available, you can add it by modifying the installation.

For more information about using the Conversion Utility, see the Conversion Utility Help.
