Convert 602 to WPD

Understanding 602 and WPD file formats

602 files are document files created by the 602Pro PC Suite, a popular office suite in Central and Eastern Europe during the 1990s. These files typically contain formatted text, images, and basic layout elements. The format is now considered obsolete and is rarely supported by modern software.

WPD files are documents created by WordPerfect, a word processing application developed by Corel. WPD is still used in some legal and government environments due to its advanced formatting and compatibility features.

How to convert 602 to WPD

Direct conversion from 602 to WPD is not natively supported by most modern software. The recommended approach is to first convert the 602 file to a more common format, such as RTF (Rich Text Format), and then convert the RTF file to WPD.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Open the 602 file using 602Text (part of 602Pro PC Suite). If you do not have access to this software, try using a virtual machine with Windows 98/XP and install 602Pro PC Suite.
2. In 602Text, go to File → Save As and select Rich Text Format (*.rtf) as the output format. Save the file.
3. Open the resulting RTF file in Corel WordPerfect.
4. In WordPerfect, go to File → Save As and choose WordPerfect Document (*.wpd) as the output format.

Recommended software for conversion

• 602Pro PC Suite (for opening and exporting 602 files)
• Corel WordPerfect (for opening RTF and saving as WPD)

There are currently no online converters that support direct 602 to WPD conversion. Using the above method ensures the best preservation of formatting and content.

Tips for successful conversion

• Check formatting after each conversion step, as some elements may not transfer perfectly.
• If you encounter issues, try exporting to plain text and reformatting in WordPerfect.
• Always keep a backup of your original 602 file.
