Convert files

[John]

We are curretnly using MS Office XP/2003. Many of my users have tons of
Quattro Pro files (.wb3). The users want to convert their files from Quattro
Pro to Excel from with in Excel. While the documentation states that Office
can in fact do this for versions 5 and 7, most of their files indicate that
the "File Format is Invalid."

Are there any tools out there to convert version 6 (which I am guessing they
had before I was here)?

Which version are you running? XP and 2003 are *NOT* one and the same.

Some machines are running XP, some are running 2003. Also, the old
qp7conv.exe from MS only works with 2000.

Hi John,

If I recall correctly the Excel 97 converter
worked on WB2 (Quattro 6) but not v7, while the
Excel 2000 version of the converter did 7 and 8 (WB3)
but not 6. You may want to also post this in the
Excel discussion group (link below) on ways to extract
and use the older Quattro converters, but using Corel
to export the files to Excel or using a 3rd party package
such as Conversions Plus (http://dataviz.com) may be a
more reliable approach.
