For some reason known only to MS, they abandoned the converter for *.wks
(also used by Lotus as an extension) after V2 of Works, so any version after
that has to be saved as such in Works... seems mad to me too!

then either find a friend who still has Works installed (and let him
convert your files) or go for one of the commercial converters

PMFJI -

Is that the poster's only option? I am able to open existing Works
spreadsheet files from XL(97 or 03)...select File Open and then hit the
dropdown list for "Files of Type;" file formats with the extension .wks
are listed. Likewise, Word appears to be able to open word processing
files of filetype .wps.
