SUMMARY
When translating WordPerfect version 5.1 documents to Microsoft Word versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, or 4.0 using Apple File Exchange (AFE), the version 5.1 translator should be used. If an earlier translator is used, the translated file will contain garbage characters. To avoid poor translation, use the translator that corresponds with the WordPerfect version number.

To obtain an Application Note detailing the conversion process between the versions of Word listed at the beginning of this article and WordPerfect, download the following file from the Microsoft Software Library:

"GC0174.hqx" For more information about downloading files from the Microsoft Software Library, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION
If versions 4.2 or 5.0 are the only available translators, save the WordPerfect 5.1 document in version 4.2 or 5.0 format.

To save a WordPerfect 5.1 document in an earlier format, do the following:


 * 1) Choose Text In/Out (or press CTRL+F5).
 * 2) Choose Save As (or press 3).
 * 3) Choose WordPerfect 5.0 (press 2) or WordPerfect 4.2 (press 3).
 * 4) Type in the pathname and document name with the appropriate drive.

Place the appropriate translator in the Apple File Exchange folder and continue the conversion process.
