Default Can MS Works spreadsheet be imported into Excel?

Have tried to import a Works spreadsheet to Excel - have just updated to
Excel and would have thought the two would be be compatible and seamless;
when I try this I get an error.Any thoughts on how to do this or if it even
can be done?

In the File/Open dialog box, if you click the arrow next to "Files of Type",
you'll see the list includes Microsoft Works 2.0. If your file is from a later
version of Works, I believe you need to open it again in Works and save in
either Works 2.0 or Excel format. The other option is to buy a converter like
Dataviz' Conversions Plus for US$70.. It will handle Works v 2-4.5.
