I never tried ApplixWare, but wordperfect wouldn't touch the files
I had.  Might have been because I used their math equation stuff and a lot
of graphics generated internally by interleaf.  We even found an Interleaf to
something-else program that would crash with those files.

The best bet would be to scan the thing in and run it thru an OCR package.
The drawback is the time it would take, and then getting the graphics in would
be another issue.
