[Solved] Help opening MS Works spreadsheet with OpenOffice

Post by dr410 »

I am attempting to open up old msworks spreadsheet files that I transferred from my old computer to a newer one I just bought . When I try to open the file, nothing opens. Any help would be appreciated.

In you still have your Works program, use it to save the spreadsheets as Excel files: these can then be opened and saved with Calc.
