Quattro Pro Conversion

[John]

We are curretnly using MS Office XP/2003 on our PCs. 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 the .wb3?

Perfect! For any one else, I did the following:

In Regedit, created the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\InstallRoot

Right Click on Default value, select Modify, and add the following:
c:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office11\

Installed qp7conv.exe from the Microsoft site currently located here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I opened the Quattro Pro files and they converted with no problems! Thanks
for the point in the right direction Don!
