WK4 conversion to XLS

[Stewart, Michael]

The documentation before I installed Apache stated that file conversion from Wk4 to XLS was supported. But I don't see WK4 file extensions as an option when I try to convert a file. Please advise.

Where did you find that in Apache OpenOffice documentation?

Apache OpenOffice only supports .wk1, .wks, and .123 format Lotus 1-2-3 files.

It is not in the Apache OpenOffice documentation - it is in the File-Extensions.Org website:

http://www.file-extensions.org/convert-wk4-to-xls

You might want to let them know the error.

Thanks.

What I see there is the following statement at the very beginning:

If you don't have Microsoft Excel 2003 installed, try to use
for example free OpenOffice.org (LibreOffice) Calc to open
.wk4 file and save it as .xls files.

I don't know how to decode the two specific entries under Multiplatform software, including one specifically about
"Apache OpenOffice Calc (OpenOffice.org Calc)."

I have made a comment on their page about this. I suspect that these are very old entries - all of the images on the Apache OpenOffice entry there are from the old OpenOffice.org versions shipped by Sun Microsystems and Oracle. As far as we can tell, .wk4 was never supported.

Thank you for your meticulous investigation.

I am certain that your making comments at those places will be very helpful in having other users not face the difficulty you encountered.

Thanks for adding your volunteer efforts to those of all other volunteers on this project.

There is more than that. If you scroll down to the comparison charts it
Apache OpenOffice Calc (OpenOffice.org Calc) <http://www.file-
extensions.org/openoffice-org-calc-file-extensions>
Spreadsheet program from OpenOffice.org productivity suite

This is one of the areas where there are clear and distinct differences
between LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. Differences that most third
party sites neither know nor appreciate.

IIRC, WK4 support in LibreOffice is through a third party extension ---
one that doesn't work with Apache OpenOffice.
