Perhaps this is a good time to make the choice between 2000 and 2007. Another point beyond bob14's suggestion: While in Excel check to see the "save file as" default by using Tools:Options:Transition "Save files as:". If you have previously opened and changed a 2000 file while using 2007, the file may have been automatically saved as 2007. While using 2007 you probably have a choice as to file type.

Thanks, both of you, for your suggestions. Saving the source formatting didn't help, so I tried "match destination formatting" instead. That did move the words out of the margins, but it left those margins much too large. Perhaps because the original files were in Courier, and Times New Roman is my default font in Word. But, if I change it back to Courier, all of the problems return. I also tried "keep text only," but it seemed to have the same results as "match destination formatting." I also clicked on the paragraph symbol that shows all the background stuff, and there appear to be a lot of dotted lines in these documents that I don't recall seeing in any of my regular Word documents. Is there any way to get rid of those? (As these files are already saved on my computer as text files, saving one again in Notepad didn't help.)

I have used zamzar for years since it first came out and only had good results with it not sure why you don't want to use it. I personally would trust something I did NOT have to install on my pc more than a random program which could install malware along with it. Be very careful if you do pick one to install because funmoods has been hitting so many people from downloads.

WOW! Found the solution by playing with them. It seems that Doxillion does not convert files that are in nested folders. I made a temporary folder on the desktop and put all the .wps files into it then Doxillion converted them. I tested one file the first time and it worked then I did the rest of them in batch mode and it worked also.
