Can't help you. I haven't "been using WordPerfect", which I gather means you use the Windows platform at times. Since I through my CD in the ash can, I can't offer it to you. But, if you really want to look at it, it's available from Caldera for $150 or so. And you might try a Linux listserv or newsgroup. There are probably a number who'd happily give away their copy.
