Import Quattro Pro (DOS) into Excel 2007
(OP)
I just got "upgraded" from the 2000 version to Excel 2007 and there are no converters for Quattro Pro (DOS). Help?
Is there an easy way to install 2 versions of Excel on the same machine?

I can't remember where to get Quattro for windows, Lotus or IBm spring to mind.

I'm pretty sure that Open Office and Gnumeric will open old Quattro Pro files, but in answer to the original question, yes it is possible to have XL 2007 + an earlier version installed on the same computer.

I checked out Open Office and Gnumeric. They will open a few windows versions of Quattro Pro files, but not the DOS version.
Two versions of Excel would require uninstalling MS Office, installing the old version, reinstalling MS Office 2007 and reconfiguring all of my settings.
I remembered that I have Excel 2000 at home and I think that I will just take the files home and use Excel to convert the files. Any macros will just become useless text and I may try to jump into recording a macro in Excel 2007 if I feel the need.

If you get all your old Qpro-DOS files ready to go, you should be able to do the conversions in 30 days. Make sure you get all the old sheets done.
