Excel 2003 - importing lotus files

[TJD]

I have a user in a remote location which I am not at with
a new Dell pc with Office 2003. He claims excel 2003 won't
open his older lotus.123 files.
I'm guessing he needs to rerun setup and do either a
complete install or install the lotus converters. Can
anyone confirm that Excel 2003 can still read lotus 123
files?

On my Windows XP computer, and Excel 2003, I can do <File><Open> and one of
the "Files of Type" is:
"Lotus 1-2-3 Files (*.wk?)"

I was able to open a *.wk1 file with no problem. I "think" I remember that
option during my custom installation of Excel 2003.
