File conversion query
 

I have a load of .wks files created in MS Works 4.5a which I'd need to
work on in Excel 97. A suggestion, please, on how to import them into
Excel.

Doesn't excel open those .wks files ok?

If yes, then the next time you have to open each, just save it as an excel
workbook.

Excel 97 doesn't seem to want to open any of my .wks files in any of
the formats. I could save them as .csv's in Works of course, but
losing the formatting would involve a dreadful work of reconstruction.
I was hoping there might be a more miraculous way to export/import.
