 please tell me where I can find them.
 
 Thank You.


I, too have a lot of old Word Pro filesI used Lotus Smartsuite Millenium
in Win XP and OS/2 versions until several months ago. If you look at this
site,

http://www.wordstar.org/wordstar/pages/convert_faq.htm

There are filters listed for all kinds of word processors. I understand
Lotus Smartsuite 9.XXX had a batch conversion filter built in, but I never
have tried it yet. If you have any luck, let us know.

I used Lotus 1-2-3 for years and was very familiar with it, and in fact 
used to teach a course back in the early 90s using the DOS version! The 
most current version I used for the Lotus Smartsuite spreadsheet was 
9.5. Those 1-2-3 spreadsheet files imported into OOo Calc without a 
hitch. Just open them using OOo instead of Lotus; don't need to convert 
them in advance.


Sorry I can't help you with the other Lotus Smartsuite files.

 Hi Peter!
 Concerning Lotus .123 files, I imported them in OOo-1.1.4 following
 these steps:
 1. Savev .123 files as .xls (Excel) files (using Lotus SSuite) 
 2. OOo-1.1.4 could open the so transformed .xls files, except that I 
 had
to re-write all the relative macros and make some minor adaptations
to particular formulas (Help was very 'helpful' ;-) )
 
 I've just tried OOo-2.0, which supposedly should import .123 files
 directly, but had no success: many of my formulas would raise the
 _#VALUE_ error and the resulting files are worthless. What is worse,
 OOo-2.0 gives the same error when I try to import the former .123 
 files
 previously successfully transformed in OOo-1.1.4 Calc (.sxc) files.
   
 HTH, regards,
   Ennio.

OO.o will import lotus 123 files directly without that workaround, but 
sadly will not  do the same  for wordpro.

Yes, but you have to pay for them: Star office, Sun's own version of 
OpenOffice, comes with filters for lots of old Lutus formats. It is not 
expensive, but the filters only work on Windows, which I assume you're 
using, since you have all these Smartsuite cdocuments in the first place.
