Is it a long article/document?

I remember opening my wordstar files years ago on MicrosoftWord. As far as I remember, it will open, but then, a lot of funny characters/symbols will appear (i.e. rectangles, etc.), but then, I just deleted those characters and the text is still there.

I'm not sure about this, but if you're going to do that, it's better to use a lower version of MSWord.

Indeed*!*

try...... Opening it in notepad or word pad as I THINK WP used rich text or barely enhanced plain text.

Or Download openoffice.org I think it can open WP and can defo save MSTurd files.

I managed to retrieve all my files from WP format to PC Word a few years ago, by converting them to Ascii with a piece of shareware i found. You lose all the effects but keep the text.
