Get lotus file from cd and put in excel?
When I do File-Open, in the "Files of type" box at the bottom I can choose "Lotus 1-2-3 Files".



Don't you have that option, or doesn't it work for you?



Cheers.

Reply:Lotus! Wow! Been a long time since I've worked in that.

Forgot all I knew.

Click the help button to see if you can SAVE AS FILETYPE

ASCII, text, delimited, or comma separated value (CSV). Be sure to save it to a new name or it will overwrite your original.



Once you have done this, open a new Excel file.

click File, Open.

Name the file.

You will have to find the file, then tell Excel in which format you saved it. I think you will be o.k. from here if you are able to save the Lotus file to a format acceptable to Excel.



Immediately, if Excel accepts the data, click File, SAVE AS and be sure to take note where it will go, give it a new name, and be sure the filetype now shows MS Excel Workbook.
