Converting a Lotus 1-2-1° File into a Spreadsheet File To use Lotus® 1-2-3® files on your word processor, you do not need any special conversion tool. A Lotus® 1-2-3® file can be opened just like an SPR file using the Spreadsheet application if the following conditions are met: • The file is stored on the root directory of a DOS 1.44M or DOS 720K diskette. • The file name extension is WKI. There is no guarantee that the entire Lotus® 1-2-3® will be correctly converted. The conversion will be incomplete in the following circumstances: • The Lotus® 1-2-3® file is too large (SPR files hold a maximum of 256 rows x 256 columns). The conversion will be stopped and the following message appears: Cells extend beyond range. Unable to convert! Press any key to continue. • The Lotus® 1-2-3® file size is larger than the maximum spreadsheet file size. The conversion will be stopped and the following message appears: I Not enough memory remaining! Press any key to continue. 4 • A password is set. The conversion will be stopped and the following message appears: File Management 192 Password is set. Unable to convert! Press any key to continue. • There are more than 130 errors. The conversion will be stopped and the following message appears: I Cannot read this file! Press any key to continue. • A cell in a Lotus ® 1-2-3® file contains more than 239 characters. In this case, only the first 239 characters of the cell appears in the converted file if the data is alphanumeric. If the data is a formula, it is not converted. • When a function available with Lotus® 1-2-3® is not recognized or has a slightly different format (e.g. @COS(45*@PI/180)), it is not converted. Please check the Lotus® 1-2-3® file and make sure that only functions and formats available on your word processor are used. • Characters of the Lotus® 1-2-3® file that do not exist on your word processor are converted to spaces. The conversion of the text is performed according to LICS (Lotus International Character Set).
