Ah, OK, I got it now.
To open a wordperfect document in Word
1. On the File menu, click Open.
2. In the Files of type list, click either WordPerfect 5.x or WordPerfect 6.x.
3. In the File name box, enter the name of the file that you want, and then click Open.
Now, if you don't see the options "wordperfect 5.x or wordperfect 6.x" in the list, then let me know.

OK if that's the case... you're going to need to convert the wordperfect files to word.
There are plenty of converters online, but I have never used any of them so I can't really give you a recommendation. Also, a lot of them charge you to convert them, so choose wisely.
If you look from Free Software Downloads and Software Reviews - Download.com and type in "wordperfect to word converter" I'm sure you can find something.

Word includes converters to open existing Wordperfect files. Simply re-run your Word setup and select a full or custom setup and select all the included converters.
