PUB2000: WordPerfect Filter Defaults to .DOC File Name Extension
This article was previously published under Q207637
When you open a WordPerfect document in Microsoft Publisher, the default
file name extension Publisher uses is .doc. In addition, when you search
for WordPerfect documents in Publisher, only those files that have a .doc
extension will appear in the list of files found. Other files will not be
listed. The default extension should be an asterisk (*), which indicates
any character combination.
The most commonly used file name extension for WordPerfect files is .doc. However, WordPerfect does not add this extension automatically and you can specify any extension or no extension.
To open a WordPerfect file with any file name extension, click
Open on the
File menu. In the
Publication Name box, type
*.*, select the file you want, and then click
Open.
NOTE: You can also specify the extension you used when you saved the WordPerfect file.
NOTE: You cannot modify the extension in the
Find File dialog box. When you search for WordPerfect files, Publisher will look only for files with a .DOC extension.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Publisher 2000 Standard Edition

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
