What exactly do you mean by "windows spreadsheet"? There are many different
spreadsheet programs that run on Windows and therefore could be called
"windows spreadsheets".

Install a copy of Quartro Pro on the laptop. Or read Quartro's Help
files to see if it can export data in a format that the spreadsheet
application (there's no such thing as "windows spreadsheet, btw)
installed on the laptop can open or import.

Sorry I wasn't very explicit in my question. Both of my computers are
Dells's. My desktop has windows xp and came with word perfect 11 installed
that has quatro pro. My new laptop is windows vists and come with Microsoft
Works installed which has a windows spreadsheet. The two computers are
networked together so I would like to be able to open spreadsheet files from
Quatro pro to windows spread sheet. There is no file ext. listed for it.
Quatro Pro ext. is qpw. Thank you in advance for any help.

No. I don't have Micosoft office installed. I said previously what I have
installed. I don't want to buy anything additional.

Microsoft Works Spreadsheet cannot open a file created using
Quattro Pro. Follow Mr. Bruce Chamber's suggestion and
install a copy of Quarto Pro on the laptop.

Hi Peggy,
I don't know much about Quattro but maybe it has an export
function in the file menu?
If it does you would need to export to a Microsoft
Excel file.
..XLS
Then you should be able to open it.

Then you might want to post to the Works group & detail your version of
Works, as to how to export or import
The group is; microsoft.public.works.win
This has nothing to do with Vista or WinXP

I don't know about the export but I will check that out. Thank you!

Peggy,

Another option is to install the 'free' OpenOffice suite (see
www.openoffice.org) and download & install a copy of that. The OpenOffice
suite is a Microsoft Office clone that works pretty well. This is what I
have done to convert Quatro Pro to other formats.

Hope this helps...

Dick
