Works compatability with office
I use a PC with office 2000 and have recently acquired a laptop for use on hols etc, the laptop has Microsoft works Spreadsheet already installed. I dont want to go and use up unnecessary harddrive space so are the 2 systems compatible should I need to transfer one to the other? I use ( simple) spreadsheets quite a lot and would probab;y want to take copies of some of them with me when going on hols. thanks |

You can save Works Spreadsheet files in Excel format
You can open Excel files in Works Spreadsheet BUT (1) you get only one sheet at a time and (2) many Excel features are disabled. So while there is some compatibility for all practical purposes you will need Excel on the laptop. You will need to buy a copy happy new year -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "Scudo" wrote in message . uk...

Further to my previous post (above) I take it that there is no issues with
`uninstalling` Microsoft works first, before I install Office XP. "Scudo" wrote in message . uk... OK thanks for your advice. "Bernard Liengme" wrote in message ...
