Default Quattro Pro Converter for Excel 2003

MS did not release a converter that installs with Excel 2003 but the 2000
works fine with 2003.

To install the QP filter for Excel 2000 in Excel 2003 you have to make a
registry entry that makes the filter installer believe you have Excel 2000
installed.

Run Regedit and create this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\9.0\C ommon\InstallRoot


(You'll probably have to create the 9.0 branch under Office and then Common
under it, and InstallRoot under Common)


Then create a new string item named "Path" in the right panel with the value
being the path to your Office 2003 installation like:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\"


Change the path to point to where you have Office 2003 installed if
different than the above.
