[Papyrus-L] importing into Word Perfect 10

[Joseph Cain]

Thanks for the tip! Apparently an import tool for Word Perfect 5.0 is not 
on the default list for the installation of Word Perfect 10 (also called 
Word Perfect 2002). I went back to the CD and added this feature. Now the 
search.lst output with the WordPerfect/Microsoft word option on Papyrus is 
very readable. If I had to put it into Microsoft Word this would be a 2 
step process, which is no big deal since I don't use any Microsoft product 
I don't have to. As noted below my "standard edition" of MS Word does not 
supply a WP5 importer. Probably just another way that Microsoft tries to 
extract more money from you.
