Many of us depend upon OpenOffice to handle office suite documents, many
of which are generated through non-open-systems end users of the
proprietary Microsoft office suite. I need it for that purpose, but
also to handle legacy WordPerfect documents.
I use the production versions from the supplier, not any SL6 port or
distro version.
The Oracle OpenOffice production versions for EL6, both IA-32 and
X86-64, handled
WordPerfect. Now that OpenOffice is under Apache, that support has been
discontinued with the current Apache production version of OpenOffice.
However, I have verified that LibreOffice production version does still
support WordPerfect documents. This may be of use for those who also
have legacy documents.
