Can I upgrade from Wordperfect 12 to Office 2003

I have a new laptop with Wordperfect 12 installed. I would like to have
Office 2003. Is it possible just to buy an 2003 upgrade, or will I have to
buy a full version?

No, WordPerfect is not a Microsoft product and not eligible for the upgrade.
You need full version.

Interestingly, back yonks ago, you could use the Upgrade version of (I
think) Office 97 if you had any component of Lotus Smartsuite installed....

I've seen other software programs that you can use a competitor as a
qualifying product but as you said, that was yonks ago.
