SUMMARY
Page 27 of &quot;Switching to Microsoft Excel from Lotus 1-2-3&quot; states: &quot;If the WK3 file is a single-sheet file, it will open as a WK3 file and will not convert to a workbook file.&quot; This is a documentation error.

In Microsoft Excel, all WK3 files, regardless of whether they are single-sheet or multiple-sheet, are converted to workbooks. The workbook will assume the name originally given to the WK3 file and the single document will be named &quot;A&quot; in keeping with the Microsoft Excel standard of naming WK3 plys.
