I am a dinosaur who has been using "Lotus" forever. Will openoffice read my Lotus files, text and spread sheets?
I don't have any Lotus files to play with but if you open Calc and then choose File>Open, Lotus 1-2-3 (*.wk1, *.wk2 and *.123) is one of the listed file formats under "Files of type:" This is on my Win XP system with OO 2.2. earlier versions, or versions on different OS's may not provide the same facilities. Oh. Macros - if such things exist in Lotus, *probably* won't work and will need re-writing. There is some discussion at http://www.bytebot.net/openoffice/faq.html#Compatibility2 - search the page for "lotus"; there are a few references. So my answer is "suck it and see". OpenOffice is free to download. It's also free to use on any computer(s) you like in any context (personal, business etc.) you like. it's also free to distribute to others. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to users@openoffice.org
