Report: WordStar Converter Pack for Microsoft Word

1. Executive Summary

The WordStar Converter Pack refers to a set of file translation tools, historically provided by Microsoft, that enabled Microsoft Word (versions 2003, 2007, 2010, and earlier) to open, edit, and save documents created by WordStar — a once-dominant word processor from the CP/M and early DOS eras (MicroPro International, late 1970s–1980s).

[ ] Identify your WordStar version (1.0, 4.0, 6.0, 7.0, or for Windows).
[ ] Choose a converter pack (Free: LibreOffice Bridge | Paid: Dataviz Connector).
[ ] Convert to RTF before DOCX.
[ ] Run a macro to strip rogue dot-commands.
[ ] Save your new .docx to the cloud.

Go to File → Open. In the file type dropdown, select "WordStar Document (*.ws, *.ws7, *.ws8)".
Review the document. Check if dot-commands (.lm 8) appear as plain text. If so, the converter didn't catch them.
Go to File → Save As. Crucial: Save as Rich Text Format (.rtf)—not .docx initially. RTF holds onto WordStar’s basic formatting better.
Close LibreOffice.
