I have loads of old Lotus Wordpro Documents but MS Word doesn't recognise
..LWP files. Why is this and is there a workaround? (Lotus can handle Word
documents!)
 
Gee, perhaps Microsoft is trying to kill off the competition by making their
software incompatible with the main word processor on the market. You can buy
Wordpro for about $30. Save all the files as .rtf format, then you can open
this in word.
 
Word has never been able to open native-format WordPro (.lwp)
files. You can download and install the Lotus KeyView program by
visiting ftp://ftp.lotus.com/pub/lotusweb/product/smartsuite/ and
clicking on KVLOTUS.EXE. Lotus KeyView is a free viewer that
will let you open Lotus SmartSuite files (WordPro, 1-2-3, and
Freelance Graphics) and then copy and paste to Word or other
applications.
