WordPerfect Viewer is a word processing software that allows users to view, print, and copy content from a Microsoft Word document even if Microsoft Word is not installed on the computer. WordPerfect Viewer is an extension of WordPerfect, the core word processing program that allows users to actually create documents and modify existing files that are saved in the WordPerfect Document or .wpd format. WordPerfect is often found on computers hosting a Windows operating system and can be used in conjunction with Microsoft Office products in order to view Excel spreadsheets, Notepad documents, and Rich Text documents.

 

What are WordPefect Plug-Ins?

WordPerfect plug-ins are files that can be installed in a word processing software to allow users to import and export WordPerfect documents. While most word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, and StarOffice, are already capable of viewing WordPerfect files, they may be unable to save a document in the WordPerfect format unless a WordPerfect plug-in is installed.

How to Convert WordPerfect Files

WordPerfect is a popular word processing software and millions of individuals around the world use it. However, WordPerfect is not as popular as Microsoft Word. Because of this, users who already have Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word on their computer may wish to convert WordPerfect documents to Word documents. This can be done in one of two ways. The first method involves opening the WordPerfect document in Microsoft Word and saving it in the Microsoft Word format. This can be done by doing the following:

1) Open Microsoft Word, click on the File menu, and select the “Open” tab.

2) Browse for and select the WordPerfect file.

3) Click on the File menu again, select the “Save As” tab, and change the “Save as type” selection to any Microsoft Word format.

The second method involves using a word processing converter, such as WordPerfect Converter, that will convert the file from a WordPerfect document to a Microsoft Word document automatically.
