Summary:

If you try to load a Lotus 1-2-3 version 3.0 spreadsheet into Microsoft Multiplan, a “File is Not a Saved Worksheet” message will appear. Changing available Transfer Options will not allow it to load.

If the Lotus file is saved in Lotus 1-2-3 version 2.x format, the file will load into Multiplan without problems.

More Information:

Lotus supplies a translation utility with Lotus 1-2-3 version 3.0 that will convert version 3.0 files to earlier versions of Lotus 1-2-3. The utility may be started at the Lotus 1-2-3 directory prompt by typing “TRANS” (without the quotation marks). A menu will appear allowing for the appropriate selections. The translation utility is fully described in Appendix 1 of the Lotus 1-2-3 reference manual.
