1.00 1.10

WINDOWS

Summary:

Integer numbers in Microsoft Word for Windows will be followed by a trailing decimal point when importing files from Lotus 1-2-3.

Once the file has been imported into Microsoft Word for Windows, you can search and replace the decimal points with white space.

More Information:

To search and replace a decimal point with white space, do the following:


 * 1) From the Edit menu, choose Replace.
 * 2) Enter a period (.) in the Search For edit box.
 * 3) Enter ^w in the Replace With box. (That is, press SHIFT+6 and then type a lowercase w.)

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.00 and 1.10. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
