Spreadsheet conversion

steve farris — Thu, 18 Nov 2004 12:13:12 GMT

I'd like to be able to read my Microsoft Works Spreadsheets on my 5550. The Pocket Excel doesn't seem to be able to read them. Any ideas?

Perhaps, if you save the spreadsheet as an older version ??? or even as CSV ?

I've read the link and it looks as though it's not possible. However I'm interested in CSV. What is that?

CSV is comma separated values

that means.. the spreasheet will be saved with a comma in between each column and saved as a CSV file

Steve:

Please post the version of MS Works you are using. There may be an import/export filter on MS website that'll help.

Well, I just went to the Works website (http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/downloads.mspx) and, I was wrong. There seem to be plenty of options for word processing documents but I see nothing for spreadsheets. Sorry. You'll probably HAVE to go with the CSV solution.

Make a great day!

Thanks for all your help. I'll contact MS and see if they can sort out some software to resolve the problem!
