Use NeoOffice to view WordPerfect (and Office) files
Authored by: escottf on Feb 24, '06 06:16:10AM

I've got Office but I often use NeoOffice or OpenOffice to open some of the more obscure file formats that Office won't open.

Also, I have used NeoOffice to open Word files that crash Word, which makes for a nice get out of jail card (not having to open them in text editors and hacking the "real" text out).

Kind of reminds me of how IE (Mac) used to be good at opening corrupt Netscape bookmarks in the "good old days".

A nice free application to have in the Toolkit - provided that you've got the bandwidth or patience to download it.

Scott :)

Use NeoOffice to view WordPerfect (and Office) files

NeoOffice offers torrents of their downloads, so even if it takes a real long time, you can get it bit-by-bit and inturrupt the process without having to start over again.

Here is a posting with bittorrent info as well as the neooffice torrent file:

Here is the neooffice page with a link to the torrent as well, no idea why it isn't in the neooffice.org domain:
