Open a .w61 file with Corel WordPerfect Office or Corel WordPerfect for Microsoft Windows. Support can vary between releases, so an older compatible WordPerfect installation may be needed if a current release does not open the file correctly.
Open the .w61 file in a compatible version of Corel WordPerfect, then use its Save As or export command to create a more current WordPerfect document or another supported document format.
If the file cannot be opened by the available WordPerfect software, conversion is not practical until a compatible version can read the original document.
