Opening Lotus Files in Excel 2007

I know this option was omitted from Excel 2007, but I am wondering if a work
around has been created?

Does anyone know of a way to open Lotus files in Excel 2007? Any work
arounds? I recently upgraded to 2007 and lost this functionality.

Thanks,
Pete
 
hi
with xl07 that is a big no can do. MS stopped supporting lotus all togeather
with xl07. as don pointed out, many have turned to open office but as i
understand, open office will not open .wk4 files nor .123 files(millimiun
edition or v9) lotus is up to v9.8 i think.
if you know someone with a copy of lotus, i would be very very nice to them
and do what i do. same the lotus file as a .xls file. lotus will save a lotus
file in xl format faster that xl can same a xl file in xl format. go figure.

you can do a google for conversion soft ware. but most want money. don't
know how desperate you are.

you can also google smartsuites. some sites offer v9.8 free download. i
haven't done that so be advised. others offer v9.8 for as low as $20US. which
is cheaper that some conversion software. go figure some more.

you might also check out lotus forums also....

or

anyway you look at it, MS has made it very dificult for people who need
access to lotus files.
