Tip: Three Ways to Cut and Paste From Word to Wordperfect
Some of us in “Wordperfect shops” are always looking for ways to cut and past from Word to Wordperfect. Yesterday I came across the following tip from Charles T. Lester Jr. He was responding to a question on TechnoLawyer–Answers to Questions http://www.technolawyer.com:
