... How can this be done? Excel 2000 has a converter available for that, but when installing Office, the default is to NOT install that converter. Check your Office install disk - you didn't mention what version you have. Later versions might not have that converter, probably because Quattro Pro hasn't been around in a zillion years. Then, you'll need to find someone who's got the converter (like me!). |

Then, you'll need to find someone who's got the converter (like me!). Um, Quattro Pro is still being upgraded and sold. So is Lotus 123, FWLIW. However, Excel supports neither competitors' recent versions' file formats (.QPW for Quattro Pro, first provided by Quattro Pro version 9 in 1999, and .123 for 123, first provided by 123 97 Edition in 1997). Basically, starting with Office 97 Microsoft has had more than 85% or 90% market share, and with an effective, er, monopoly it has no incentive to support anyone with the temerity to try to avoid using (and paying for) Microsoft Office. Without the sarcasm, Excel doesn't support what Quattro Pro has been using as its default file format over the last 6 years, .QPW. No spreadsheet other than Quattro Pro itself supports .QPW files. If the OP needs to convert .QPW files to .XLS files, the OP's only practical options are either to buy a copy of WordPerfect Office (which includes Quattro Pro, which isn't sold as a stand-alone product) and save the ..QPW files as .XLS files or find someone else who already has Quattro Pro and would do it for him/her. |

Sorry - I didn't realize QP was still available as part of WP Office. Last time I went to Corel's site to see if Paradox was still around, there was no mention of it, and yet the people in the Paradox NG said it was available from Corel. Bad site design - no idea if it's changed. Onward: What was the WQ1 format I see in my file type list, associated with Quattro Pro? |

....and to finish the thought, if your file ends in WQ1, my converter can
handle it. But, as Harlan indicates, there's another file extension which does NOT show in my list. |

Similar to Lotus 123's .WK1 file format and Excel version 2/3/4 .XLs file format - all single worksheet files. More recent Quattro Pro file formats were .WB1, .WB3 and .QPW (I don't recall whether there was a .WB2 file format because I stopped using Quattro Pro at version 5 in 1993 and only took it back up with QP9 for Linux in 2000, so I have no idea & no inclination to discover what QP versions 6-8 provided). |

Get a copy of Quattro Pro (I think it has now got up to version 12),
load in your .qpw file, then use File | Save As to save it in .xls format. Or find someone else who has QP and will do it for you (as stated above). Hope this helps. Pete On Oct 4, 9:56 pm, wrote: how i can convert the .qpw to .xls? please reply me. tahnks |
