Thanks Charles. I'm unsure of which suggestion you are recommending the
most. I think you're suggesting to first see if the files can be saved as a
Word file within WP. Am I right? I'd hate to have multiple versions of one
file (.rtf, .txt...) if I can help it.

Save them as WP 6.0, WP 5.1, .rtf and text. See if within WP, there is a
save as Word file option as well. Use these to recreate the documents in
Word. Which version will work best for you depends on what you have going on
in each document.

Don't create new documents based on conversions, you'll spend all your time
figuring out and fixing inane formatting inserted by the conversion program.

Before converting to Word 2003, I'd like to know if I should save my WP
files
as .rtf format or as version 6.0 (as I've read in some help screens) or
should Word convert automatically. These files may have tables, and a
fair
amount of text and paragraph formatting applied. Do I really need the ABC
Amber WordPerfect converter mentioned in the March 27th discussion?
Thanks in advance!
