Convert BRO to LET

Understanding BRO and LET file formats

BRO files are typically associated with Tree Professional Broadleaf, a landscape design software. These files store project data, including plant placements, design elements, and layout information. LET files, on the other hand, are most commonly used as Letter documents in various applications, such as WordPerfect or other word processors, and may contain formatted text, headers, and other document elements.

Why convert BRO to LET?

Converting a BRO file to a LET file may be necessary if you need to extract textual information or design notes from a landscape project and present them in a standard letter format for documentation, sharing, or printing purposes.

How to convert BRO to LET

There is no direct, universal converter for BRO to LET due to the specialized nature of both formats. However, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the BRO file in Tree Professional Broadleaf or the software that created it.
2. Export or copy the relevant content (such as project notes or text) from the BRO file.
3. Open a word processor that supports LET files, such as WordPerfect.
4. Paste or import the exported content into a new document.
5. Save the document using File → Save As and select the LET format.

Best software for BRO to LET conversion

The most reliable method is to use the original Tree Professional Broadleaf software to access the BRO file, and WordPerfect for creating and saving LET files. If you do not have access to these, consider exporting the BRO content to a common format (like RTF or DOC) and then converting to LET using WordPerfect or a compatible converter.

Tips for successful conversion

• Ensure you have both the source and target software installed.
• Check the exported content for formatting issues before saving as LET.
• If LET is not available, save as RTF or DOC and use a converter to reach the LET format.
