WordPerfect


Are there any recomendations for a app that can open Wordperfect 9 documents? I have a lot of them from my Windows days and would like to still edit them with linux. Many have much formatting and images inside of them. I have tried Open Office and others, but have not foeund one that will display the images.

Do a search on Ebay and find the older WordPerfect for Linux 8. Since all WP docs are compatible from version to version you'll be able to open yours. But you'll have to find the backward compatibility libs to run it since it's a little out of date. I have heard that there is another program, ABWord I think that will open them to some degree of success.
