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

You can try opening and saving using open office. From there save as .xls???

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....
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/ssforum.nsf (IBM)
or
http://xpertss.com/

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