Houston, we have a problem.

WordPerfect has become unstable.

As in, it crashes almost as soon as you open a file. (This would be, of course, the first person singular "you.") It has done so now four times in a row, including after a reboot. The "recovery" wizard is as useful as a screen door on a submarine, thank you very much.

I am not a happy Mole.

Another useful file-conversion gizmo is zamzar.com. Second the idea of having OpenOffice (or its Mac clone NeoOffice, if appropriate) around for emergencies. I've actually not bothered to buy MS Office for Buffle the new MacBook; NeoOffice is good enough for my modest purposes.
