You might have a WP document (maybe someone sent it to you) and you cannot read it because you don't have WP. Let WP2LaTex convert it to LaTeX for you. You will not need Word Perfect.
You might want to create a document for publication. You want to use the power of LaTeX, but you don't want to learn all the LaTeX syntax. Use your WP to write the document, convert it with WP2LaTeX, and then typeset it with LaTeX.
You have a corrupted WP file with perhaps only a single byte wrong and no longer readable by WP itself. Use -safemode in WP2LaTeX and recover what can be saved. Don't expect too much from this feature, but if you really don't know what else to do with a corrupted WP file, try WP2LaTeX.
Example of conversion results
The document with complex formulas:
equation.wp
equation.tex
equation.ps
The document with some images:
images.wp
images.tex
images.pdf
Older WP2LaTeX images.ps
The document with Cyrillic typesetting formated to UTF8:
russian.wpd
russian.tex
russian.pdf
The document with Hebrew typesetting:
GAIUS-5H.wp5
GAIUS-5H.tex
GAIUS-5H.pdf
More complex document with images and czech accents (my diplomma work):
vrtulnik.wp
vrtulnik.tex
vrtulnik.pdf
If you want more WordPerfect example files, look here for them:
ftp.dante.de/pub/support/wp2latexFor tracking changes in sources you could visit HG repository: https://hg.osdn.net/view/wp2latex/wp2latex WARNING: the https key on OSDN gets expired, use parameter hg --insecure. Alternative repository on Source forge: http://hg.code.sf.net/p/wp2latex/wp2latex
You can also clone the project with Hg by running:
$ hg clone https://hg.osdn.net/view/wp2latex/wp2latexor
$ hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/wp2latex/wp2latex wp2latex-wp2latex
WP2LaTeX can also be downloaded from this WWW site through your web browser. It is listed on SourceForge - click here.
The package contains executables for these platforms: DOS (Real), DOS
(DPMI 16-DJGPP), Linux and Windows (95,98,Me,NT4,2000,XP,Vista,Win7,Win8,Win10).
The full source code is also included in the package. The current version is 4.12.
Older and obsolete releases are now available from this page:
gettext library for WP2LaTeX. Use it for MSVC and BCC compilers.
BTW: Do you know that wp2latex now also accepts unicode texts at input? And can generate UTF8 output?
Doing these things will be very helpful for further releases:
See full WP2LaTeX documentation here. This file was obtained by LaTeX -> HTML conversion.
(a) Bugs causing a loss of data or a program crash. If you find one of these, please send me a full description so that I can reproduce the bug, and also the smallest WP file which causes the problem. It means that you should try remove abundant text from your document and find minimal document that still casuses problem.
(b) Bugs causing TeX/LaTeX errors. If you have an example, please send me a detailed description as to what happened and what should have happened (how the converter should have translated the file if it had worked correctly.) I know about many situations where LaTeX reports an error but I don't always know how to cope with it.
Please never send me only LaTeX or PDF. If you cannot send WordPerfect source from whatever reason, don't communicate with me. I simply cannot help you and conversion result without source document is void of use for me.
I like to ansver any question. But if you want to have extensive support, please consider some donation. If you are out of money, I could ask you some help with WP2LaTeX development or documenting or GUI testing.
