My copy of OpenOffice claims to import WordPerfect files, and there's
also WP2LaTeX. SwiftView sez it can view PCL (e.g. HP LaserJet)
files, and most laser printers (such as mine) understand it as well.
If you have no luck with other methods, email 'em to me and I'll send
it back readable, either in email or in an envelope.
It's just another one of those fine PLUG member benefits,
