MS Office 2007 compatability

I have a very old version of MS Excel (5.0c) which I have been using and
saving files with for the past fifteen years or so.

I am considering purchasing MS Office 2007. Will it be able to open and deal
with files from Version 5.0 without any loss of data?

Also, does Office 2007 include a feature which would take WordPerfect files
and convert them into Word format?

Thank you.

Excel 2007 only lists Excel 4 as a specific file type so presumably Excel 5
is covered under the "All Excel Files" heading

Not as such, but Word 2007 will certainly open WP 5 and 6 files and then
save-as Word 2007 format...
