Converting wb1 files in Excel 2002

[Chris E.]

How do I convert Quattro Pro wb1 files into Excel 2002. I
cannot find a converter on the disk, and I cannot find one
on the website.

Hi Chris
if you have access to QP the easiest thing would be to save the file as
Excel file within QP. AFAIK Excel does not have any QP filters

 

[Don Guillett]

Have you tried file>open>types of file>quattro pro

 

[Chris E.]

I have tried open as. The option is for Quattro Pro/DOS
Files(*.wq1).

Do you still have access to a copy of QP - If so then see Frank's note.

Start with the following Microsoft Knowledgebase Article.

I do not have QP. May have to get it.
