SUMMARY
Works cannot save spreadsheets in the SYLK file format. However, Works can read a file saved in the SYLK format. Works will read and translate SYLK file formulas, but cell formats will be lost.



MORE INFORMATION
To open a SYLK file in Works, do the following:


 * 1) From the File menu, click Open Existing File.
 * 2) Enter the filename (together with path if necessary) in the File Name box.
 * 3) Works asks if you want to convert the file from text. Click OK.

Works will then load the file. You can now save the file in the Works Spreadsheet format.
