Converting old lotus files...
I have come across some old lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets with *.123
extensions. Is there a way to open them in Excel 2000? Thanks, George |

I have come across some old lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheets with *.123 extensions. Is there a way to open them in Excel 2000? I do not know the answer for your question. But if you do not find a way, you should know that you can download a free beta of Lotus Symphony Spreadsheets from IBM. Symphony can open .123 files, and it can save as i.e. ..xls or .ods. So if you find no other way, that will work. |

Thanks for the reply. That page references the *.wk? file format with
an associated formatting file. The version of Lotus I used saved the file with the *.123 file extension with no formatting file.

As it said in the link those are the only Lotus files Excel will open so you
would need to either download a program that can open those files and save as either *.wk or *.xls or buy a commercial converter from a third party vendor. -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "George" wrote in message ...

So if you find no other way, that will work. I had OpenOffice installed on one of my computers. That was able to open the *.123 files. Didn't have any cell formatting, but that was no big deal. Thanks for the help. |
