SUMMARY
Works cannot directly import files from Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows. In order to bring these files into Works, the file must be saved in the Lotus 1-2-3 version 2.0 format that Works can import directly. If the Lotus 123 Translate utility is not installed, please consult your Lotus 1-2-3 user's guide for these steps.



MORE INFORMATION
To save a file in version 2.0 format from Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows, use the following steps:


 * 1) Click the 123 Translate icon.
 * 2) Select 123 Release 3 from the From box and press ENTER.
 * 3) Select 123 Release 2 from the To box and press ENTER.
 * 4) Press the ESC key two times.
 * 5) Type the full path and name of the file to be translated and press ENTER twice.
 * 6) You will then be prompted to enter the target filename. Type a new name or press ENTER to accept the default.
 * 7) Click Labels as the way to translate the file and press ENTER.
 * 8) You can then select either translate All Worksheets or One Worksheet. (If you select One Worksheet, you'll be prompted for the letter of the worksheet. Type a letter and press ENTER).
 * 9) You will then be asked if you'd like to proceed with the translation. Click Yes and press ENTER.
 * 10) Press your ESC key to return to the main screen.
