In my experience with Word and Word Perfect I found that Wordperfect would convert just about any format to any format and do that in about 80 languages. In most cases any file that MS office said was corrupt could be opened in WP and once saved in its original Office format by WP could be opened and used by MS programs. It must be eight years since I used WordPerfect but with those experiences in mind, I say its a far superior program to MS Word.
