Received this mail offlist, not sure why someone would ask me rather than
the libwpd developers but the answer is *most likely yes*.

Abiword should be able to open those WordPerfect documents and allow you
to edit them.

For more information about Abiword Wordperfect support you might want to
check the libwpd features page
http://libwpd.sourceforge.net/features.html

Microsoft Word? Don't know, you would have to ask Microsoft.

I hope Abiword will be able to do all you really need thanks to libwpd.
