It appears that on December 8, 2009, a security update (MS09-073) for the
Office 2003 File Converter Pack was issued. Now, when I attempt to open a
Word Perfect 5.x file in MSWord 2003 on my Windows XP machine, I receive an
error message that states, "File appears to be corrupted." Is there a
registry change or other action I can take to restore my ability to convert
and open WP 5.x files?

Microsoft has a habit of trashing old converters with 'security' updates.
You can download the old converter from my web site. How long it will work
for is anyone's guess.

Alternatively you could try uninstalling the 'security' update in question.
