Opening and previewing files
You can open WordPerfect documents, including those created with previous versions of WordPerfect, and with other word-processing applications. When you open a document created with another word-processing application, it is converted to a WordPerfect document.
You can specify delimiters, characters, and Windows metafile options when you convert documents to WordPerfect. For more information about conversion options, see “Using conversion settings.”
You can preview files before opening them in WordPerfect.

If the format of a file created with another word-processing application is not supported by WordPerfect, the file may not be displayed correctly when it is converted to a WordPerfect document. To display the file correctly, open the file in its native word-processing application, save it in a file format supported by WordPerfect, and open it again in WordPerfect. For more information about the file formats supported by WordPerfect, see “Import and export file formats for WordPerfect.”
