What does "we do not even have the media" mean? The link Bob provided 
gives you all the instructions on how to download and install a full 
working copy of Wordperfect Mac which functions in Classic emulation. 
It's a free solution, which will allow you to open WPD files and save 
them in Word format.

Alternatively, you can use MacLink Plus v14 from DataViz 
<http://www.dataviz.com/products/maclinkplus/mlp_xlators.html>, which 
is probably the optimal, though not free, solution.

If you come to Mac OS X from earlier versions of Mac OS, scour your 
archives for copies of older applications with the required 
translators, e.g., Quark 3 or 4, Word 98, PageMaker 6.5, and so on.
