Riggo-toni Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 So...I promised to edit and make sure my father's last book would get published if he passed away before finishing it. Turns out my Dad did the whole thing in Word Perfect 8...yeah, apparently Word Perfect is still around. The book is a biography about an artist and has hundreds of pictures - seriously graphics intensive, and is meant to be a huge coffee table style book. Word Perfect apparently doesn't like embedding jpegs, so all the pics are converted over to bmp (I think). Anyone know the best way to convert Word Perfect 8 to MS Word? Otherwise I got a feeling I'm gonna have to copy and paste the text and then go through and re-embed the pics one by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I would certainly think that Word would directly import WP files. People building word word processors try real hard to make it import rival's formats. Because they want you to switch to theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free, and as an open-source project, it doesn't have the vendor lock-in mentality @Larry mentioned. I looked through the document types you can select between when filtering out documents to try to open, and Word Perfect is among them. You can also then try to save it as a Word document from there. Not sure how well the formatting will hold up to this process, but it's worth a shot. Edited October 30, 2019 by PokerPacker 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llevron Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Dont know word perfect well, but if none of the above work try converting it to a PDF and then get a 14 day trial of adobe pro and convert it from that to a word file. Not sure how that would work, just spit ballin. But I have dont something similar with another file type and adobe pro is actually kinda smart in how it handles text and pictures.

I'll add that I've had trouble opening resumes I work on in opensource word equivalents in actual word, so ve been recommended to save as PDF instead before sending to anyone instead of risking them trying to open it and word making it look like spaghetti.

This was confirmed by their engineer after months of problems. if it’s x8 you can open it directly in Microsoft word and save as to a docx.

Riggo-toni Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Yes, it's x8. Wasn't aware of the distinction. I have tried opening it in Word, but the pages with images just hang. Edited October 30, 2019 by Riggo-toni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Export to pdf and open in word. get a trial if you can’t export to something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HD is almost full but i'm not sure if i'm backing my data correctly.

Issue 1) Backup all photos through time machine to external HD. completed Issue 2) Backup all photos to google photos. I have i believe 85% of the photos already backed up to it but not sure how to get the remaining photos on there If you want to move the photos from your Mac to make more space the best way to do is just go to the Photos folder and cut and paste to the same external HD as your Time Machine backup HD (just create a new folder on the HD, don't touch the Time Machine backup folder, just create the new folder in the root of that hard drive). Once you do that then you can upload them to the cloud from the new folder you created. This way you will have the backup of your photos in both locations. Time Machine backs up your whole computer in case you need to restore anything or transfer all data and apps to a new laptop or hard drive. Keep on running Time Machine for that reason on a weekly or at least monthly basis depending on how important your data is in case your Mac's hard drive fails. Hopefully this helps. Let me know of you need more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can add the rest. honestly you could probably leave a lot of them only in the cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also pay for icloud storage and just move them there and that way you can share them with your iPhone if you have one. @skinfan2k take a look at this and see if it helps you: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201517 Edited February 8, 2020 by zskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 @zkins that's what i was trying but it was forcing me to redo every photo. I have more than 100K photos. it would take days to back up right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I have done it. I would just do that before going to sleep and let it just run overnight. Highly recommend attaching a network cable to your computer instead of using a WiFi connection for faster transfer speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
