WD97: How to Convert Documents Between LotusWorks and Word
ID: Q195130
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
SUMMARY
The Word Processing module in LotusWorks versions 1.0 and 3.0 supports
import and export of ASCII text only. Therefore, if you want to use
information from a LotusWorks word processing document in Word 97 for
Windows, you must export it as ASCII text and open it in Word as Text Only
or MS-DOS Text Only.
The LotusWorks spreadsheet module saves spreadsheets in Lotus 1-2-3
version
2.x WK1 format by default. You can open WK1 format files directly into
Word
97 for Windows (provided you have installed the Lotus 1-2-3 converter),
and
you can link WK1 files into a Word for MS-DOS document in the same manner
as any Lotus 1-2-3 file.
