Actually, you can type an @formula directly into an Excel cell and it
will recognise it and convert it to =formula. You might get problems if
you had formulae which referred to other sheets in the QPro file, as
these would point back to that file - however, you could do Find and
Replace afterwards to get rid of all the links to the other file.

Anyway, I think getting Corel Office 12 on trial is a good solution.
