Publisher's description

From R&L Software :

Converts Microsoft Works files (extension wks and wdb) to Excel format. MS Works Converter can convert great numbers of Works files in one go. Microsoft does not provide an import filter for Excel to load Works-WKS and WDB files later than version 2. (for Works-WPD and Word they do). There is no standard way to convert a lot of Works-WKS files into the Excel format.

The only thing you can do is, provided you have a Works installation, to save each file out of Works manually into XLS-Format, which, frankly, is a pain in the neck. Our Converter does not need a Works installation and you can use it for batch conversion. Version 2.20 has improved Vista compatibility.

What's new in this version:

Version 2.20 has improved Vista compatibility.

"DOES NOT WORK WITH EXCEL 2007"

by howardferns on October 14, 2009

Pros: None. Wasted my time trying to download it. No stars if possible.

Cons: You get a "Setup error" message which reads: "Could not find Excel 97/2000/XP/2003, installation stopped. Please note: this converter can not work with Excel 2007, because the Excel converter interface does not work any more in Excel 2007."

Summary: So why don't the publishers warn you of this in their review?

"quick and easy but major side effects using vista"

Pros: ease of use

Cons: after download found that screen resolution on excel (only) reduced and cannot be restored using control panel.This is a serious problem which will inhibit sales of your products
