I can try to convert it for you...
Either send it to me by mail or upload to a website and paste the link here.
I have solved the registry problem, and been advised to write a
conversion program in Visual Basic. But that appears a formidable
task.
The first issue is that the Lotus 2.4 spreadsheets, when opened in
excel 2003 (which can be converted to google), correctly display in
the window at the top of the excel 2003 spreadsheet, the contents of
the cell where the cursor happens to be. The critical case is when the
cell contains a named range/cell from a linked spreadsheet. Although
in the top window the name in the linked cell is correct, in the body
of the spreadsheet, the corresponding cell contains #VALUE! , instead
of what is correctly displayed in the top window.
Clearly, a threshold issue is the ".wk1" extension in the link
address, which must ultimately be converted to ".xls" .
I've also been advised to consider the excel fn "indirect" . Again,
I haven't a clue.
A later question would be: is there an automated way to convert all
230 spreadsheets at once, in bulk as it were, or must each spreadsheet
be converted individually, by hand ?
Please respond by email to me : (e-mail address removed) .
