Introduction
------------
The WE1130 disk included with this Application Note contains a Lotus
1-2-3 WK4 file converter for use with Microsoft Excel versions 5.0,
5.0a, and 5.0c for Windows. This converter allows you to convert your
existing Lotus 1-2-3 Release 4 or 5 for Windows files to Microsoft
Excel 5.0 files.
Microsoft Excel 5.0 for Windows shipped without the ability to open or
save files in WK4 format. The file converter provided with this
Application Note allows you to use Microsoft Excel version 5.0, 5.0a,
or 5.0c to open WK4 files. This file converter does not provide the
functionality to save a file in Microsoft Excel to the WK4 file
format.
NOTE: The Lotus 1-2-3 WK4 file converter does not work with
Microsoft Excel for Windows NT(TM).
To install the Lotus 1-2-3 WK4 converter
----------------------------------------
NOTE: If you are running Microsoft Excel from a protected network
server drive or if you want to install the converter to a location
other than the Microsoft Excel directory, see the "Alternative
Installation Method" section of this Application Note.
1. Quit Microsoft Excel for Windows.
2. If you received this Application Note on a disk, insert the
enclosed WE1130 disk in your floppy disk drive.
3. In Windows Program Manager, choose Run from the File menu.
4. In the Command Line box, type <location>:\setup.exe and press ENTER
(where <location> is the floppy disk drive that contains the WE1130
disk or, if you received this Application Note electronically, the
disk or directory to which you downloaded the file). For example,
if the disk is in drive A, type
a:\setup.exe
or, if the downloaded Application Note is in the directory
C:\DNLOADS, type:
c:\dnloads\setup.exe
When the Setup program is finished, a dialog box will appear,
confirming that the WK4 file converter has been installed.
NOTE: For information about installing the Lotus 1-2-3 WK4 file
converter from a directory on a network drive, and for more
information about using the file converter, see the README.TXT file
on the enclosed WE1130 disk or in the location to which you
downloaded this Application Note.
When you run the Setup program, it copies the XLCONVW4.DLL file to
your Microsoft Excel directory. The rest of the files included on the
WE1130 disk are used to run the Setup program.
When you run the Setup program, if you receive an error message
stating that Setup tried to create an invalid path or that Setup
cannot find Microsoft Excel, use the method described in the
"Alternative Installation Method" section on page page 2 of this
Application Note to install the converter to a location other than the
Microsoft Excel directory.
