Quattro Pro files in Excel 2003
 

I was unsuccessful using the bottom advice. I run "microsoft office
standard edition" 2003 and Windows XP Home Edition. I only get as far
as "Change". Add / Remove features doesn't come up then.

There is a .wb1 converter on your Office 2003 CD, but not in the Office
converter pack. To install all of the optional converters on the CD,
click
on Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Microsoft Office 2003
|
Change | Add/Remove Features | expand "Microsoft Office" | expand
"Office
Shared Features" | click on the little black triangle to the left of
"Converters and Filters" and select "Run All from Computer" | Update.

I have some old data files that were saved in a quattro
pro format (*.wb1). According to the on-line help files,
I should be able to open these files from Excel 2003.

When I attempt to open the files, I get a message which
says that "the file format isn't supported, or the
converter isn't installed".

Since the documentation says that this format is
supported, I assume that the problem is that the
converter isn't installed.

After doing some searching, I find advice which says that
I should use "Add Programs" in the Control Panel to add
the converter. But when I do this, there are no options
for installing any spreadsheet converters.

Using the on-line documentation, I then find advice to go
to the download site to look for additional converters.
Following the instructions there, I downloaded and
installed the office converter pack. Despite doing this,
I still can't open up the *.wb1 files.

How do I verify that the converter is installed? What
else can I do to open that file? (It seems to me that I
used to be able to do this kind of conversion all the
time in Office 97.)
