How do I open spreadsheets in the QuattroPro with extension .wb3 with open
office?

I'm not aware of QPro w3b filters for OpenOffice, but there's third party
software which claims to convert it

1) open file in quattropro, save as excel 97..., open xls file in calc, save as ods, work with ods file in calc.

2) if you don't have quattropro, down load free trial of wordperfect office and then proceed with step 1).

3) if you don't run windoz, create a windoz virtual machine and then proceed with 2) and then 1).

4) go to www.zamzar.com, follow steps to convert to ods

I had several files to convert from wp and qp and use an iMac so chose to use 3). Zamzar limits the size of files that you can convert, plus I didn't want to share confidential data with a third party. By the way windoz os is very big and requires a dvd to write to when you down load it.

Does Qpro allow you to save your spreadsheet as a .wb2 file? If it does
check Openoffice and see if allows you to open .wb2 files. I use
LibreOffice and it will open a wb2 file. Another choice would be save
your spreadsheet as a .csv file then use OO to open it.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, for viewing archived data, cvs works. At least I can view the
data. None of the formulas,formatting, etc are there, can not use it to
reuse templates but I can view my wokbooks from 15 years ago.

For archiving data one needs to archive the platform/OS, application,
and hardware. Thanks to virtualization vm 's replace hardware, I have
vm's stored that allow me access to my old Wordperfect office stuff.
That is my solution, that and not creating more docs in obscured
formats.

Peace,

Greg
