Using Lotus 1-2-3 File Lotus® 1-2-3® files can be converted into Brother Spreadsheet files and used on your word processor. In addition, you can create spreadsheet files on your Brother word processor and then convert them to Lotus® 1-2-3® files. CAUTION: 1-2-e When converting Lotus files into Brother Spreadsheet files, be sure to store the files on the root directory on the diskette. Your Brother word processor can only read the root directory of a DOS diskette. Conversions to or from ASCII files are carried out according to the IBM PC Code given on page 299. For information on code page switching, refer to your DOS manual (DOS command mode device codepage). The IBM PC code table shows all characters that can be correctly converted. Characters that are not included in that table are converted into blank spaces. Your word processor comes with a conversion program that can be used on a personal computer to convert files. 1. Insert the diskette containing the conversion program into the A or B drive of the PC. 2. If necessary, type A: and press ENTER to display the A:> prompt. If the diskette is in drive B, type B: and press ENTER to display the B:>. prompt. 3. Type the conversion program name, SCONV and press ENTER. The conversion program starts and displays this message: Insert data disk and press Enter. 4. Remove the conversion program diskette, insert a diskette in drive A, and press RETURN. The word processor asks you to select a conversion direction. A: BROTHER SPREADSHEET (.SPR) -> LOT(iS 1-2-3 (NM) B: LOTUS 1-2-3 (.WK I) -> BROTHER SPREADSHEET (.SPR) 5. Type A or B and press ENTER. A will convert a Brother Spreadsheet file into a Lotus® 1-2-3® file. B converts a Lotus® 1-2-3® file into a Brother Spreadsheet file. The word processor asks you to enter the name of the file to convert: Type source filename and press Enter, 6. Type the file name (without extension) and press ENTER. The word processor asks you to enter a name for the converted file. Type new filename and press Enter. 232 Spreadsheet
