Lester B - you should not have any problem in opening any Word Perfect document, no matter what the version. I would think this holds true back to the very earliest of versions. I just opened a file which was created in 1996 without any difficulty and this was probably created in DOS Version 5, before Windows was even invented! Based on this, there is no known reason to me why you couldn't open any file created in any previous Windows version and I have done that in the past with older Windows versions. To my knowledge every Word Perfect file has a "wpd" extension and that holds true with the Word Perfect Office X6 files. Unlike Microsoft, which has had various extensions over the years, Word Perfect has retained the same extension for more than 20 years and probably more than 30 years. I am currently working in Windows 8.1. John

Becky, they advertised it as : "Office Home & Student 2013 RTYoga 11 comes with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT - touch optimized versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote.".... So then implying it is NOT a trial.

WordPerfect Office X7 Standard converts a word document to word perfect, and a word perfect document to word.

The word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation programs are the same. There are other added features, but unless you are doing some database stuff or epublishing, the standard should do just fine.

On your WordPerfect 3 have you tries to set compatibility for windows 8. I know on Windows 7 if you go to properties and choose the compatibility tab and set it to your operating system you will have less problems. I do not know if you can do this with Windows 8, but it is worth a look.

you should check with the seller since each one might have different software on it. The laptop I bought supports Open Office program and not Word, but it can open Word documents.

nope...office 2012+ version is the suitable version, as far I tried. Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 was successful.

I was running Wordperfect X3, but Quattro Pro X5 and Presentation X5 when I upgraded, so I had no problems. But you need X5 or X6. Here the quote from the Amazon website: "To purchase this product [WordPerfect Office X7 Standard Upgrade ], you must own a previous licensed version of WordPerfect Office X5 or X6, Standard or Professional Edition. Please note that upgrade eligibility excludes Academic, Home & Student, OEM and Not for Resale (NFR) versions."

I use Open Office. I can open Word and Excel that were part of my files and originated using Microsoft software.

Yes Word Perfect Office X7 has "QuickWords" - it appears to work exactly the same as Quick Words in Word Perfect 8 (I agree WP 8 is still wonderful but it does not work on Windows 7). I recently converted from Word Perfect 8 to Word Perfect Office X7 without any problems.

I believe it is. I installed X7 over WP-12 (not 11) with no issues whatsoever. X7 picked up all the old documents.

There are apps that can read (and edit?) Word documents to a point - they are not Microsoft products, so there is no guarantee that they are completely compatible. I know of no app that can read OneNote (of any vintage).

No. Some models come with a trial version of Office (Word, etc.) that expires rather soon. You will have to acquire the software on your own.

I bought the Xerox Documate 3220 using Windows 7. I had the same question when changing to windows 8. Fortunately I can say that it works as good with both OS.

It is compatible, but I highly suggest you upgrade your Office suite as well. It's well worth it.
