WordPerfect on a Mac

Question

WordPerfect on a Mac

I am about to purchase a new iMac and switch from a PC. For work, I need to be able to use WordPerfect. Since there is no version that works with OS 10.6, what are my options? Can I install the Windows software from my old PC on the new iMac and use that with Parallels or Bootcamp? Or do I have to purchase a copy of Windows 7 or XP? And can I use my current Wordperfect CD to load onto the Mac? Also, are there issues with transferring WordPerfect documents from an Mac to a PC?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

If you absolutely need WordPerfect, you will need to install Windows.

You do this either through a virtual machine ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine )

Or through Boot Camp. In either case, you would need to purchase Windows.
