No, Word Perfect doesn't come with Windows.

Actually I didn't read the original question properly I thought you meant that you wanted to convert a .doc into a .pdf from Word. But you don't have Word.

Instead, try opening the document with Word Viewer, you can print with that. Download Word Viewer 2003

Or, install the free open office software and screw Bill out of some revenue. :-)

Thought for the new millenium:

It'll be easier just to change the extension... assuming all local machines don't have word.
