You should be able to open your Excel files in Works, but not all of the
features will be available. Puma wrote: I have changed my computer and need to know how I can transfer some of my files Office 97 excell, to Works XP spread sheet -- Debra Dalgleish Excel FAQ, Tips & Book List http://www.contextures.com/tiptech.html |
Hi Debra
Thanks for your reply, I have copied the files onto a floppy disk but I still cannot open the file it sys to go to Microsoft, when I go there it tells me that it is a xls sheet which I already know and I must admit I'm not very comfortable on the internet so I don't know what to do next. These files are important to me, so at the moment I have both computers on and work with both of them which is a pain.

Instead of working from a floppy disk, copy the files onto the other
computer, then try to open them.

No, you don't need to connect the computers.
Copy the files from the old computer onto the floppy disk. Insert the floppy disk into the new computer Open Windows Explorer In Windows Explorer, copy the files from the floppy, onto the new computer Remove the floppy disk from the new computer Open Works, and open the file that was copied to the new computer.
