I just found an open source application that will allow you to open and edit WordPerfect files on the Mac. It will also open Microsoft Office 2007 files from the PC that the current Microsoft Office 2004 for the Mac can not open. (Office 2008 for the Mac will be able to open these files).

I installed NeoOffice and it worked great. Besides NeoOffice Writer which is the Word Processor, it also had a database similar to Microsoft Access and a Drawing program.

I was quit impressed with it's overall functionality.
