I liked Word Perfect for Dos but converting files to my linux desktop was a pain and I never found a workflow I liked.

I wouldn't do it myself, but if that floats your boat:

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, unless I'm missing something, it doesn't solve the work flow issue as my goal is to get my written text into a modern format that works with everything else I use, such as ascii or markdown.
