Word Perfect (wpd) files in OO 4.1.1

[Larry Ridder <gl...@idworld.net>]

Can no longer open wpd files.  In oo3.3 it was possible.  Is this a planned
feature elimination, or is there another way?

The feature was removed as part of the conversion of OO.o to an Apache
project (as I recall for licensing reasons but I may be wrong) so has never
been supported by AOO.

The Document Liberation Project is now maintaining import filters for
WordPerfect; see
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/17246/wordperfect-and-current-libreoffice/
for details. AOO does not incorporate their work but LibreOffice does.
