How do I read a lwp document

[BusyB]

I'm running osx10.3, I have Office 2004. Where can I get a converter to read this document? I guess its a Lotus file.
Any advice gratefully accepted.

From here (http://www.icdatamaster.com/l.html)

LWP = IBM Works for OS/2 document
LWP = Lotus Wordpro 96/97
LWP = Mime: application/vnd.lotus-wordpro

Others have had your problem, and a google search came up with this? (ftp://ftp.lotus.com/pub/lotusweb/product/smartsuite/kvlot32.exe)

Hope it works! If not, I would have thought 'Quickview' would do it?

lwp is a lotus word pro file.

As far as I know, word pro file format isn't open and I don't know of a .lwp -> .doc converter (we have plenty of .lwp files at work from a time before MS Office was rolled out, and it can be a real pain). However, I've just tried opening a .lwp file in Word X and if you set "enable -> recover text from any file" then it's readable, if not pretty. Might be good enough if you just need to read it.

edit: BOAC's link is to a viewer, although it's for Windows not OS X. You can't edit the document, although it'll look much nicer than my method. Not much use without a PC though ;)

Thanks guys, tried all suggestions and finally managed to read it using "enable ->recover text".

Thanks for your suggestions.
