Gnumeric does (linux) open wk4. I tested with two files from here: http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/mike.cox/SPC.htm Implementing the Circle Technique Using Spreadsheets Files containing Lotus(.WK1) WK1 , Lotus(.WK4) WK4 No problem opening the wk1 with OOo or LO, but both failed on the wk4. There is a Windows version: http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/downloads.shtml I've just installed on WinXP & that works as well. Both the linux & Windows verson give some ref errors: =if(#REF!,#REF!,if(C24=0,time(" ",(C24-B9)*(C24-B9)*2+(B24-B10)*(B24-B10)>B8*B8,hour(-1.22339444643022e-89))," ")) And the chart doesn't display etc., but the file does open. I reckon the question would be; why is it that gnumeric can open wk4 files, but OOo & LO cannot? -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
