XL4: How Fonts are Mapped from Lotus 1-2-3 to Excel
ID: Q101122
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a
-
Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh, version 4.0
SUMMARY
When you open and save Lotus 1-2-3 files in Microsoft Excel version 4.0,
the current font may be substituted with a different font name.
The font used by Lotus 1-2-3 may not be available in Microsoft Excel.
Therefore, Microsoft Excel will use a different font based on a predefined
font table.
If a specified font name is not found in these tables, then the original
font name is used when you load or save the file. This way, if the
specified font is available on the system, Microsoft Excel or Lotus 1-2-3
will use that font. If the original font is not found, the default font
will be used.
