Sure. It's the office suite called LibreOffice, and it is free. People

Overkill, but it'll do the job (for free).


Yes, overkill for reading a simple document, but my reply was also
addressing the OP's statement of "and can not afford the cost of a MS
subscription of MS office." which you snipped.

So with LibreOffice, he gets his "office" at no cost.

The OP uses WordPerfect because of the access to the reveal codes.
These codes have saved me many hours in troubleshooting formatting
problems. In MS Word when things really go bad, the only solution is to
copy the document to an ASCII word process. Then rebuilding the
formatting of the document from the ASCII text.


Before going the ASCII route, open Styles and Formatting, try the Clear
All option.
