| 493906 | 2006-10-25 08:18:00 | I have the odd cheap client keeping financial records in a works spreadsheet. Problem is excel does not open them after works 2.0. Does anyone have any clever ideas. other than have the client resave them in a compatable format? | wotz (335) | ||
| 493907 | 2006-10-25 08:55:00 | For what it is worth- Are you using the drop down file suffix window? I had no trouble opening .wks spreadsheet files in Microsoft Excel when I was tutoring the Works 6 course. Depending on what version of Works you are dealing with; you might like to try changing the file suffix. The Works spreadsheet is simply a crimped version of Excel. Another way would be to use Open Office Org, again it might help to alter the suffix, if necessary. |

| 493909 | 2006-10-25 20:13:00 | Why bother? Works spreadsheet is much more suitable for most people than Excel. I have used it for years and years (for private, business and school usage). VERY occasionally I have had to use OPEN OFFICE for the odd situation MSWORKS doesn't cover but apart from playing with it EXCEL has remained unused on my computers. It's been fun sometimes demonstrating to computer salesmen how I can bump out the required work in MSWORKS in a fraction of the time it takes them in OFFICE. |
