Convert Works spreadsheet to Excel?

Hi all,

I've been sent a Works 2001 (.xlr) spreadsheet, and I use OfficeXP (Excel 2002). Is there any way that I can convert the file formats, or otherwise import the data into Excel?

At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.

Hi SuperSparks:
Try this:
Open the spreadsheet in Works, File, Save As, File by Type - Excel. Close in Works, open in Excel.

Unfortunately, I don't have Works, though I may be able to get it resent as an .xls file if Works allows the file to be saved in that format.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Yep, that worked beautifully, I got it re-sent as an .xls file and it opened in Excel fine. It's also considerably smaller than the .xlr file, as a matter of interest. I'm very surprised at Microsoft, in that their flagship product can't even open a file from another of their own product range.

Thanks again, Daizy https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
