I've just received an attachment xxxx/wpd. At first I'd thought it
was a Word document, but my version of Word won't recognise it. So I
tried it in AntiWord, and it complained "This may be a WordPerfect
document".

Can anyone suggest a way of reading it, please? I do know that it
only contains text, but the person who sent it me isn't around to
re-send it in that format.


If it only contains text, dragging it onto your text editor of choice
may reveal the text content as a largely contiguous block within the
less readable parts. Copy and Paste as needed.

Unlikely to work in this instance, sadly. WP 8 docs are a mass of
formatting codes with text chopped up in there.

It might not do, of course, but it's usually worth a go.

Always worth a go.
