Oddly enough, I just started using AbiWord instead of OOo yesterday. :) It's great... I did check its "Save As.." and "Open..." options for WP format but didn't see anything. Does do RTF as you mention.

AbiWord is probably a better choice for importing WordPerfect
files. Or save as RTF so anything can open it.

Try hitting "Alt + F2" and seeing if a little "Run Program" box
comes up. If so, type in "xterm" or "konsole". When that comes
up type "dmesg |grep /dev/fd" . Remember to not type any of the
quotes (").

I would suggest using a different word processor (or even text
editor) such as is included with Fedora. OpenOffice.org is a great
replacement for MS Office, and probably even reads/writes WordPerfect
format. You can save your file to your home directory (/home/walter or
whatnot) then copy the file to the floppy disk using Konqueror or whatever
GUI file manager you have.


If you're in text mode, "pico" or "nano" are good choices.

Not to be annoying, but is there some reason you need to use
the ancient and outdated storage of a floppy? Can you email your file to
yourself and download it somewhere else? Is your machine hooked up to
the Net?


Cheers,
