They will do it online for free; you don't need an app on your Mac (unless maybe you expected to do a lot of them). -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain

(WordPerfect is ".wpd".) Dataviz's MacLinkPlus Deluxe may be able to convert it, but Richard Maine's suggestion of zamzar.com seems a cheaper option. (Never tried either of them with .wps files.) -- David Empson dempson(a)actrix.gen.nz

(Never tried > either of them with .wps files.) On Richard's suggestion, I tried out zamzar.com on a .wps file. Works well. I checked out their privacy policy first, and it seems fine - they sell or rent your email address. (You do deal with a few ads though at the free level of use.) Don -- Donald S.

I think you accidentally left out a "don't" in there, as in "they *don't* sell or rent your email address." -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain |
