Lotus Word Pro

I have several LWP files save on a floppy disc. Does anyone know of a way of viewing these in MS Word. I have tried the usual methods by doing a Google.

I saw this on experts-exchange:

The following solution helped me with
a similar problem.

I found a viewer for various Lotus files.
It goes by the name "KeyView for Lotus".

It will not allow you to save the files to any other
format, but will print and do the cut-n-paste.

If you print to the wormhole printer ''Acrobat PDFWriter'',
you can then open the created PDF file,
if you have the the right Acrobat software,
and save it to [ for example ] RTF files.

The layout after these steps in not impressingly
similar to your original, but at least acceptable.

There exist also wormhole printers ( = allow
you to print to a file ) that will create html files.
Although I never seen any, perhaps you can find
one that will print to a MS Word file.

Many thanks. I'll give it a try.

Word is usually very good at importing files from other formats.

Go into Word, choose Open, and on the drop down list see if Word Pro is listed.

If not select List All Files and select the Word Pro file to see if Word can cope with it.

If not, you may be able to install a Word Pro filter as part of the Word install.

Go into the Word install process (or Office install if you have that) and it should offer you extra options to install. See if under Word there is a Word Pro filter.
