Q. Much of our office work was saved on disks compatible with the Ami Pro word processor on our old Hewlett-Packard computer and now needs to be transferred into our new Windows XP/Office XP system.

Is it possible to program my new XP Dell computer to accept my old Ami Pro disks? Please don't tell me that they all have to be retyped.

_ Virginia Zavasnik, Tamarac, Fla.

A. Your quandary vexes many thousands, if not millions, of folks who have been herded away from such non-Microsoft word processing software as Corel's Word Perfect and IBM's Lotus Ami Pro, Ms. Z.
