Jerry - That is a Windows fix, associating a file extension with a particular program. Rightclick on any .rtf file from Legacy, click on Properties / Opens with / Change button. Select WPX5 as the default. That will be a permanent fix for all future .rtf files. Virginia On Mon, May 6, 2013 at

Thank you to all who responded to my problem. It's now solved. WordPerfect x5 works reasonably will in handling and .RTF file. However, I need to edit a great deal, but that would most likely be the case with whatever program converts the .RTF. Creating a hardbound book is time-consuming. Thanks.
