Opening Microsoft works files with excel

D

Don

I recently recieved a microsoft works (.wks) file from a
client and could not get it to open using excel.
How should I tell him to save the file so that excel will
recognize his spread sheet?

He can save it as an Excel file, which you'll be able to open. Or, he
can save it in Works for Windows 2.0 format.

Debra, please be more specific. My Client does not have
Excel. Can he still save the works (.wks) file as an Excel
(.xls) file?
How would he save the "Work For Windows 2.0 format (wks2)?

In Microsoft Works, choose File>Save As.
In the SaveAs dialog box, from the 'Save as file type' dropdown,
choose Excel 97-2000, or choose 'Works for Windows 2.0
Click the Save button
