    What actually changes

    WPD and DOCX are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    The WordPerfect structure is parsed and mapped onto Word's document model. Text, basic formatting and tables come across into a file any modern word processor reads.

    Worth knowing first

    WordPerfect's reveal codes model is genuinely different from Word's. Formatting was applied as a stream of codes rather than as properties on ranges, so complex legal documents with heavy inline formatting and automatic paragraph numbering need checking clause by clause.

    Questions

    WPD to DOCX, answered

    Why do law firms still have WPD files?

    WordPerfect dominated legal practice into the 1990s and its documents outlived it, so archives are full of them.

    Will automatic numbering survive?

    Sometimes as live numbering, sometimes as literal text. Check any numbered clauses before relying on them.
