How do I convert Lotus to MS

[Zoolpod]

I have recently got Home User Program thru work and had all my previous
documents etc with Lotus Wordpro, 123 etc. How do I convert Lotus stuff to MS
Office stuff.

 

[Bob Buckland ?:-\)]

In general, do the batch conversion from Lotus SmartSuite.
MS doesn't have a WordPro converter, but Excel may be able
to open the .123 spreadsheet files.

Leave WordPro on your system until you have saved all documents in a format
that MS Word can deal with..

It can't, Bob, believe me I know. I used to work for a solicitors and, in
their infinite wisdom, they were using Approach and 123 for their client
records and accounts. Like an idiot I volunteered to convert them into
Access and Excel respectively (they were running 2000 under XP /Home/ - and
this was somewhere concerned about security! I tried to convince them that
2000 Pro or Pro would be more secure, but they weren't having any of it!).
The conversion was impossible. I spent the better part of a month
re-entering everything!
