Open a Lotus 1-2-3 file using Excel 2003
I was emailed a file saved in Lotus 1-2-3. I have Excel 2003 and get an
error that it can't open Lotus 123 files. Surely if Word can open a WordPerfect document, Excel can open a Lotus 123 file. What am I missing? |
Excel cannot open files in the .123 format. It can read the older WK4
format. You might ask the sender to save a copy in the older format and send it to you. There is a program that can do the conversion, Conversions Plus from www.dataviz.com, but I doubt you want to spend $50 or whatever it is to open one file. -- Jim "Teri" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Jim - and you're right about the $50.

Are you sure that all formulas in your lotus can also work in Excel, as far
as I know only simple formua can work, if it's Vlook up, etc can not work Frank "Teri" wrote: Thanks, Jim - and you're right about the $50.
