When I try to use the batch conversion wizard built into
Word 2003, I get an error on each file that it cannot be
converted. I can however do it fine on another computer
in the office with Word 2003 as well and yet another
computer running Word 97. Any Ideas? I checked macro
settings, tried reinstalling all components, etc. Both
users have exact same priviledges as well.

Hi, Matthew. Although Office 2003 includes a WordPerfect 6.x text
converter on the CD, it is not installed by default. If you don't have
a WPFT632.CNV file in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\TextConv folder, you'll have to install it from the Office 2003
CD by clicking on Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs |
Microsoft Office 2003. Alternatively, you can copy this file from
another computer and put it into the TextConv folder.
