Wait. You are the OP. You didn't mention anything about WordPerfecct in
your initial post. Won't WordPerfect open and read Microsoft's ".doc"
files? (It's been centuries since I used WP, but seem to remember that it

But nothing but Word does anything "same as Word." WordPerfect does a
good job, has no problem with most .doc files, and interprets them
much the same way. But it's not perfect with .doc files.
