Dear tech-savvy people:

I have a macbook, running OS 10.5.6. To perform some work for an attorney, I was given the software for WordPerfect....for windows. What steps are required for me to get WordPerfect on my computer? Is there some sort of emulator? Do I need to actually run Windows too? Will I probably just need to find the older WordPerfect for Macs (though that seems likely to just mess up all the formatting when I send the document back to a PC)?

Keep in mind, I'm willing to put forth some geekery effort to get it up and running, but nothing to wild, program and installation-wise.

Thank you internetz.

Bootcamp to partition your drive and windows to run on the PC part of your drive. Unless there's a simpler way (and there may well be), I'd say that's a lot of time and effort and memory use for a few projects for an attorney & would try to get wordperfect for mac, if that is possible.
