Don't know what versions you need to be able to read.  This microsoft viewer will allow you to read:\n\nWordPerfect 5.x (.wpd)\nWordPerfect 6.x (.doc, .wpd)\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=95e24c87-8732-48d5-8689-ab826e7b8fdf&DisplayLang=en\n\nAlso, accorcing to this site, OpenOffice 2.0 (Open Source Freeware) has Wordperfect File Import functionality.\n\nhttp://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/176/45/

for a free way to do it, you could copy/paste the text into something that will export as a pdf (like OpenOffice) and just edit it there. The pdf reader that comes with windows wont edit text. *sigh*

No.  Microsoft Word is not free.\n\nIt's possible that you can open the document with Wordpad.  The very basic word processor that comes with Windows.  I'm not sure if you need to have Word installed before Microsoft will allow you to do it.\n\nIf you want to try, there are two ways:\n1.) Right click on the file icon.  Chose the option that says Open With.  Then look for and choose Wordpad from the list of programs that is displayed.\n2.) Open Wordpad.  This is usually in Start Menu > Programs > Accessories.  Then click File > Open.  Change the drop down menu saying "Files of type:" to show "All Files".  Then find the file you are trying to open.\n\nOtherwise, you can find a free "office suite" at:\nhttp://www.openoffice.org\n\nOr you can use the less expensive Star Office:\nhttp://www.sun.com/software/star/staroffice/index.jsp\n\nBoth of these will display slightly differently than Microsoft Word/Office will.  However, if you just want to read a document, it will probably not be a problem.

You need a word processor.  Windows has a simple one called Wordpad build into it.  Look under Start > Accessories and there should be a listing for Wordpad.\n\nCheck the documentation that came with your PC, as most PCs will include a full featured Word Processor (WordPerfect, MS Works, or MS Word) as part of the package.  But as this varies with dealers and deals, I can not predict which is on your PC.\n\nBut you will have Wordpad.

Go to microsofts website and download it.

Use WIndows Explorer, and go to the directory that you have the files saved in.\n\nOnce you are there, right click on the file, and choose OPEN WITH.  Once you do that, you can CHOOSE PROGRAM.  You pick which Office program you want to use, then check the box ALWAYS USE THE SELECTED PROGRAM TO OPEN THIS KIND OF FILE.\n\nI use this on every computer I own, so that Wordpad is the default viewer for TXT files instead of Notepad.  It works for all kinds of file, including MP3, MPG, DOC, and every other extension.

You can try OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org . It's a free office program, and it is pretty close in functionality to MS Office. However, if you open MS Office files, some stuff may occasionally be messed up, because Microsoft's file format is closed and it is very hard to reverse-engineer it completely.

If the pdf document is not protected and you are interested only into its textual content, you can simply save it as text and then open it with Word.\nIf you also need to import consistently the graphics, the fonts and the page formatting, that's a completely different story: you need dedicated software to do that. There are many, but I don't know any of them which is free and good enough. In the past I tried pdf2word, it works but it's not very accurate on complex documents. Just try it and see if it's OK for your purposes.

No, you shouldn't need to use MS Office.  Provided you have a wordprocessor of some kind - even Wordpad (free with Windows) so that you can format the way you want your document to look, then save it as a Rich Text Format file, go to http://createpdf.adobe.com/ (you will need to sign up - but it's free) and send them your file to convert.\n\nFor a resume, this is the best way.  If you have lots of documents to convert, then there are free and paid softwares you can get.  A Google search is the best way to find them.
