Do you have a WordPerfect document that you need to edit in Microsoft Word? Fortunately, Word can open WordPerfect (*.wpd) files, which means you can easily save them as Word DOCX files without having WordPerfect installed. If you don’t have Word, you can just save the document as a Word (*.docx) file in WordPerfect or use an online WPD to DOCX converter. If you have both Word and WordPerfect, you can also just copy the content of the WordPerfect document and paste it into blank Word document. We’ll walk you through 4 easy ways to convert WordPerfect WPD documents to the Microsoft Word format.

    There can be some formatting issues converting between WordPerfect and MS Word. You can have something formatted perfectly in WordPerfect, but then find gibberish in the MS Word doc after you convert it. If that’s the case, you might have better luck copying and pasting the WordPerfect doc into Word. You can also try different online converters or try using Word to open the document.

  • Question

    How do I make sure a MS Word document is saved?

We know MS Word is highly compatible, such an excellent compatibility extends from working on different platforms to opening different text-based files, including opening WordPerfect file. To turn WPD to Word format, you can open the file in Word then save as Word document.

Since MS Word is available for macOS and Windows, and the steps to open WordPerfect files in Word is similar, here we take opening WordPerfect in MS Word on Mac as an example to list the steps.

Steps to Open WordPerfect Files in MS Word

  1. Right click on the WordPerfect file, choose Other… if Microsoft Word is not on the Open With list.open wpd in word 01

  3. Then click Open to import WPD file to Word and save the file.

The reason why I place this solution at the end of my list is that, MS Office Word cannot always open WordPerfect files as you expect, it is good at opening mainly-text-based files, but poor at rendering images or preserving formatting. Even, it cannot recognize at all when opening a file with the language (not your system language).
