Converting Wordperfect to Microsoft Word

Friends,
I know this is not a specific question to this forum, but I'm trying to do this in my iMac 24" and would like to hear if anybody else has faced this dilemma. I have a bunch of files in Wordperfect format and would like to find a way to quickly convert them into Microsoft Word files, so that I can open them with MS Word. Is there a way to do this that does not require me to open each Wordperfect file individually and save it in the different format?
Thanks,
N

As long as the file extension is .doc, MS Word will open the file. However, it sounds as if MS Word is not the default word processor. What you can do is select all the files that you want to open with MS Word, right click, move your mouse over "Open With", and select "other". Even though MS Word is probably in the list of applications to open the documents with, it is not set to default. When the window opens, navigate to MS Work, and click "Choose". That should make those specific files, that you selected, open with MS Word.
Hope this Helps
Trevor

  • Convert 1 single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple pdf files

    I am a windows 7 users. I have a single microsoft word document which contain 1500 pages. These 1500 pages are seperated by sections breaks in the microsoft word. I am trying to convert this word document to multiple pdf files seperated by the section breaks in the Microsoft word. How can I convert the single microsoft word document with section breaks to multiple seperate pdf files?

    Acrobat (Adobe PDF Printer and PDFMaker ) doesn't recognize the Section breaks.  It never has as far as I am aware.  The easiest thing to do is to manually break up a copy of the MS Word Document into the Sections you need and then create the PDFs from those MS Word documents.

  • Can't convert pdf to microsoft word

    I cannot convert pdf to microsoft word says convert failure
    I cleared browser cache and still does not work
    was working fine a couple of weeks ago

    Hi Nura,
    Are you receiving that message for every file that you try to convert? Or is it specific to one file? Are you converting via the ExportPDF web interface, or via Adobe Reader?
    Please tell us more about the file or files that you're trying to convert. How were they created? Are they complex (many pages, or mix of different fonts and graphics)?

  • I wanna Convert PDF to Microsoft Word & Microsoft Word to PDF? How do I Do it?

    I wanna Convert PDF to Microsoft Word & Microsoft Word to PDF? How do I Do it?

    Hey,
    Firstly, you might need to refer this link to check the compatibility of MS Word with your Acrobat version:
    Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications
    Also, let me know what Acrobat version are you using?
    You can choose "File>Save as Other> Microsoft Word" to convert PDF file to Word.
    And, while exporting a word file to PDF, either you can use Adobe PDF printer option from the File menu or Acrobat ribbon from the menubar.
    Please check and let me know.

  • Converting PDF to Microsoft Word - HELP!

    I have Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, and have been unable to
    successfully convert PDF documents into Microsoft Word documents. I
    usually get the following message: "Save as failed to process this
    document. No document was created."
    After restoring the setting preferences to their default
    status, I was able to save the document into Word. However, it was
    not a true Word document, since I COULD NOT EDIT IT. This has been
    extremely frustrating.
    Wondering if anybody has any advice.
    Thanks.

  • Converting Wordperfect documents into Word

    I am considering upgrading from 10.3 to 10.4. I have over 100 "Wordperfect" documents (a Classic application). Can I use automater to open these documents, copy the contents of these documents and paste them into a "Word" document, and then save each document? Can automator do that for 1 document, or can I create a "script" where it does that for all documents in a specific folder? Thanks in advance for the help.

    My problem when I do that is that I get a lot of symbols that I do not
    recognize for example:

  • How to convert Images in PDF to Microsoft Word text Properly

    I have images in PDF and when I try to convert it to Microsoft word, the "check marks (wingdings)" turn into the letter "D" and the rest have a lot of misspelled words.

    PDF page content export reflects the "under-the-hood" quality of how the PDF was made.
    This of course is driven, in part, by what the authoring application was, how content was mastered and what process was used to actually paint content to the PDF page.  
    http://talkingpdf.org/each-pdf-page-is-a-painting/ 
    So --- GIGO is operative.
    Goodstuff In = Goodstuff Out
    OR
    Garbage In = Garbage Out.
    The export results tell one which of the above is in play.
    As well, 'good' export of PDF actually has a prerequisite.
    That is one needs a well-formed Tagged PDF.
    Tagged PDF has two main design criteria -
    Support Accessible PDF.
    Support export of PDF page content
    (See ISO 32000)
    Having an ISO 14289 (PDF/UA) compliant PDF provides the "well-formed Tagged PDF".
    Aside from ISO 3200 and ISO 14289 additional useful information is available at AIIM's web site.

  • Hi. I use ExportPDF. Does Adobe support pdf documents written in Arabic Language? Does it change the documents in arabic language into microsoft word??

    I have PDF documents written in Arabic. I would like to convert it into Microsoft Word. Unfortunately I am unable to do this. Please help me in my quiery. Does Adobe PDF converter support Arabic font??

    Hi Yousif04,
    If your document has fonts attached you can convert to Microsoft word that is quite possible. But if the fonts were used to create the file arent present in the system the Microsoft word may not be able to retain the layout of the document.
    There shouldn't be any problem for ExportPdf service to convert your document.
    To check fonts used for that PDF. Open PDF either in Reader or In Acrobat. Click on File go to Properties. Document Property windows will appear there is Fonts Tab. You will the fonts embedded for the document.

  • Microsoft Word document to PDF file

    When converting a saved Microsoft Word document into a PDF file, the image changes...... Figures that were saved in the original document are then either lost or hidden/partly obscured by other items.
    Any help greatly appreciated

    Nigel,
    This questions belongs in the Acrobat forum. It is not a pdf
    specification issue. The short answer is that when you change printers
    Word reflows the document. Create the Word document with the Acrobat PDF
    printer instance as the default printer driver. That should take care of
    your problem. If it does not please repost your question in the Acrobat
    forum.
