SUMMARYThe following information discusses the use of Apple File Exchange software to convert Microsoft Excel files from Windows to Macintosh and vice versa with any Apple Macintosh equipped with an FDHD (floppy disk high density) drive. These drives come standard on Apple Macintosh computers released after the SE/30, Mac IIc, and Mac IIcx. This includes the Mac IIsi, Mac IIci, Mac IIfx, Mac LC, Mac Quadra 700, Mac Quadra 900, Mac IIvx, Mac Centris 610, Mac Centris 650, Quadra 800, Quadra 950, Mac LC II, Mac LC III, Performa 200, Performa 400, Performa 405, Performa 430, Performa 450, Performa 600, Powerbook 140, Powerbook 145, Powerbook 160, Powerbook 165c, Powerbook 170, Powerbook 180, Powerbook Duo 210, Powerbook Duo 230. MORE INFORMATION
Apple's high-density drives can read MS-DOS and OS/2 disks in 720K and
1.44M formats, as well as 800K PRODOS and Apple's 400K, 800K, and
1.44M formats. Using the Apple File Exchange program (which is
supplied with all Apple operating systems), it is possible for an
Apple 3.5 inch drive to read and write to MS-DOS diskettes and
translate Microsoft Excel files to and from them.

In order to read a Microsoft Excel for Windows version 3.0 file in Microsoft Excel for the Macintosh version 2.2, for example, that file should be saved in Microsoft Excel 2.1 file format in Windows before translation through Apple File Exchange. Transferring Excel version 1.5 and Earlier Across Either PlatformFollow the steps above except:
