Cannot enter any usable dates in any Lotus 1-2-3 V5 file
imported into Excell. Text, formulas, and values seem OK,
but I have not bothered to check carefully since without
usable dates these files are useless.
Any help appreciated.
 
If Transition Formula Entry is selected under Tools, Options, Transition
uncheck it. "Transition" is a euphemism for "1-2-3 version 2.x".
