Hello, new to the forums here. I work IT at a law firm, and we're currently using Wordperfect 11... But I'd like to see if we could make Office do what we need, instead since every computer runs either Office 2010 or Office 2013.

What we have - 3186 .frm files created from WordPerfect. All of these have various fields in them that data is merged into. The data is pulled from our collection software - Collect Partner, by Hubbard Systems. When a user pulls up a file in CP, that file is then merged into one of the .frm's and the data is filled accordingly.

How would one go about recreating all of these forms in a Word document instead? Where/How do I tell Word where to get the info from so that it knows what the name of each merge field means (IE: 'dnam' means debtor name).

Is there an easy way to convert all 3K of the WordPerfect forms to Word forms?

Basically, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to the creation/converting of forms and I could really use assistance.

Thanks in advance
