Open Word Perfect Files

Posted on

Feb 26, 2016  I tried 'Open and Repair' but no luck. So if someone uses WordPerfect and they email files to someone (like me) with Word 2010, they should probably change the format on thier end to.doc (or.docx) before sending. Still seems strange that Word would not open a file in another format like that.

So maybe not surprising that Natasha, who's had addiction issues in the past, is buying it all from someone who likes to do the full court press on women.
