You need to install the WordPerfect plug-in (it's a part of the
import/export package:
http://www.abisource.com/downloads/abiword/2.4.5/Windows/abiword-plugins-impexp-2.4.5.exe).
 When you install it, make sure to select the OpenWriter and/or
OpenDocument plug-in(s), as well, to prevent a crash on load caused by
Bug 7057 (http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7057).
