[SATLUG] old Word Perfect doc

[Sean Crandall]

My copy of Word 2K has WordPerfect filters.  You may need to go into
your Installer program and add the filters if they weren't installed
originally.  I also seem to remember OO.org having WP filters, but
that could have been old StarOffice 5.x (maybe it didn't get into
OO.org).
