I wasn't quite sure how to navigate nabble. I'm not talking of one file, 
I'm talking of hundreds and hundreds of Lotus WordPro documents.  My 
client's 3rd Lotus WordPro installation floppy disk corrupted, so he 
cannot install his Lotus WordPro.  However, he wants to be able to 
access his Lotus WordPro documents.  I understood by the advertising on 
the LibreOffice web site that LibreOffice could read Lotus WordPro 
documents, that it was a "new feature" for 3.4.5 It was also posted as a 
"new feature" for3.3 I was just at the LibreOffice web site and since my 
posting of this question, now the ability to read Lotus WordPro 
documents is no longer there for 3.4.5, as well as being able to read 
other types of documents.  However, under the new features of 3.3 IS the 
ability to read Lotus WordPro documents.  So I downloaded the provided 
sample.  LibreOffice read that sample fine, but still won't read true 
LWP documents. I used 3.3 and downloaded and installed 3.4.5
