#3. NeoOffice

NeoOffice for Mac offers a suite of productivity apps that design to rival the likes of Microsoft Office and Apple iWork. Using the OpenOffice foundation, this shareware covers nearly all the bases. You can freely open your WPD files from it, but sometimes slow, this could be a problem in personal settings. Another problem is that payment is only via PayPal. Basically NeoOffice forces you to open a PayPal account.

WPD Wizard is another simple WPD viewer that can open WordPerfect files on Mac. It preserves most formatting, such as pagination, text styling, lists.

And a "Find" button allows you to find that perfect clause you wanted to copy out of a huge document. I have tried to use it before, but some functions and purposes still require performance improvement.
