How to open Lotus123 files

I recently installed Office 2003 and cannot open Lotus
123 files (Millenium Edition). I get the error
message "Cannot open Lotus 123 file". Does anyone know
how to fix this?. Previously I was able to open Lotus
files in Office 97.

Hope you can help.
Thanks for your time

Excel cannot open 1-2-3 files that are in the .123 file format. It can only
deal with files in the older .WK? format (WK4, WK3, WK1). You can save
files using 1-2-3 to the older format or directly as .XLS files I believe.

For a third party conversion tool look at Conversion Plus from
