No.  Several users have reported to me that they have used it (the Cocoa 
version) to open WordPerfect files and save in Word format.

In fact, most of these reports have come from folks who were frustrated 
trying to get the DataViz translators, and ThinkFree Office, to do the 
conversion, without sufficient success.
