I believe you can use SAVE AS feature to save your WordPerfect Document as a Word format document. Scroll down the list of available formats to find it.

I had this problem a while ago.  I was using Word and all of a sudden without any warnings or messages the screen screws up.  Thought it was something to do with Graphics card/drivers.  Reinstalled these and it happened again.\n\nMy Windows XP was uptodate. Office XP was uptodate.\n\nFinally, zapped the whole machine, formatted the drives and reinstalled everything.  Now it seems to work fine.  However, got Open Office installed if anything decides to blow up again.

Adobe Reader willnot let you add anything permanentlyto a document. Even if it's a fill in form it will not save. That's why it's free.

Ok, you have one of two problems...and both don't sound too good for you--atleast if you are trying to recover your document. \n\nCorrect me if I am wrong, but you accidentally highlighted and erased the entire body of the letter. If this is so, then you could've corrected that while in the program by using one of two methods. One method would've been to go to the EDIT menu of the file menu (At the top of the screen) and select "Undo"... The other method would be to press the hotkeys for the same operation; the hotkeys being CTRL+Z (Hold CTRL and press Z).\n\nBeing that you are professing it as three days ago (I consider a few to equal three) then I am truly doubting you as having kept the program open. \n\nIf it hasn't remained open and you aren't on the same exact screen, and you haven't done anything else to the document since deleting it...then you can try the methods above.\n\nWhat I suggest is that you begin the letter again, and save periodically this time. If I am not mistaken, Word has an autosave feature. Sadly, if you have kept the document open, then the autosave feature should've saved your mishap, thus losing the work. \n\nBut then again, if you did keep the exact same program open for the last three days, then all you need to attempt are the methods that I listed above. \n\nYeah, sometimes computers are some unforgiving creations...\n\nHope that helps...

you've most likely save that particular file as the default for new documents, so everytime you click NEW, that file is opened as a new document.\n\nlet me see if i can remember off the top of my head on how to resolve the issue. \n\nfirst find the NORMAL.dot file somewhere on your hard drive in the MS Word folder. either look through the folders to find it or search for it. once you've found it remember the filepath, you'll need to know how to get to that file again.\n\nnow, open MS Word and open a new BLANK page. make sure all the settings are set to what you would want whenever you want a new document (i.e., margins, fonts, etc.) once that's done, select SAVE AS from the FILE menu and replace the NORMAL.dot file you searched for earlier. make sure you save the file as a word document template (.dot) and not word document (.doc).\n\nthat should resolve your issue

If you do that, it would be illegal.  I use OpenOffice, it's completely free and will open, edit and save as MS Word format.

What they all mean is put your pointer on "Start" and left click. On all programmes go to "Microsoft Word" (so long as you've got it!) ****and click again, and you're there!\nEach time you finish your job/task/whatever you call it, click on "File" at the top, go to "Save as....", click, then fill in the name of the piece then click on the "Save" button.\nI think you'll find that just about covers it. Once you get used to it you can experiment withe the size, font and all the rest of it at the top. Enjoy!\n*** If you haven't , it's Start - Accesories - WordPad instead !

I am having the same problem, and have been for the past two days. I have tried uploading html and Microsoft Word documents...no luck. It won't upload anything, and my complaints go unanswered.

Have you tried right clicking on the file then use Open With, and try either wordpad or notepad.\nLst is usually a List extension, it may be a simple ascii list, you will not know yet.

Sounds like something is corrupted- are other programs able to print normally?  If not,  try removing & reinstalling the printer.  If the problem is only with word, it sounds like word should be reinstalled.

Open Office can open both file types you named, and is free. I have never tried to save in a format other than .doc, but it might save in .wp9 if you ask real nice.

What? What do you want to know?\n\nThere are so many little disasters in Office and Outlook that it's impossible to give you a useful answer. As an expert Word user with near 20 years experience I still find that the only way to salvage some documents is to save them as plain text and then reimport them. One advantage of WordPerfect was that you could edit the raw tags, but Word hides them because Micro$oft knows best.\n\nOnce in a while, Outlook, which I only use at work because IT thinks MS is wonderful and the truth is IT are idiots, just loses the plot. There's a rescue tool that works about 90% of the time, but once in a while your entire email history is just fragged and that's life.\n\nSo ask a specific question.

I had that problem just now.  I have no idea why it happens to certain documents.  Yes, even when it is copied onto a new Microsoft Word document it does not work.  What you have to do is copy and paste the whole document onto something like Microsoft Notepad (or some other basic word processing program).  Then close the document you copied it from and open a blank Microsoft Word document.  Copy the document from Microsoft Notepad onto the fresh Microsoft Word document.  The spellchecker starts working again... for some odd reason!

try zipping it. If it hangs and then fails, its because the file is too big to send.\n\nYou need to get a software that will compress the file like http://www.winzip.com

Of course there might problem with your PC. It might slow so you need to wait after clicking save or compose.
