Sharing WordPerfect documents in Google Docs
Since Google documents does not yet intuitively open WordPerfect documents (.wpd), here is a quick 5-step tip in case you need to share a WordPerfect document with someone who doesn't have WordPerfect loaded on their computer.
1. Create the document and save it on your computer as you usually do:
2. Then save as (F3) with the .rtf file extension. (RTF is supported by Google Docs and other systems, and preserves most formatting.) In the file type section of the save as window, scroll to Rich Text Format (RTF):
3. Open Google Docs, and click on Upload:
4a. Which brings you to this window:
4b. Click the Browse button and surf to your new document name with the .rtf file extension. Open that document. Then, click Upload File.
5. Your document has now been imported into Google Documents. Click on the Share button, where you will be presented with several sharing choices:
I hope this makes sense. There may be faster or better ways of sharing documents across different platforms, but this has worked well in the past for me. It should also work similarly for Zoho and other online word processing platforms.
