I would like to know if anyone uses QUATTRO in conjunction with WordPerfect 5.1. I use QUATTRO for statistical purposes and it would be great if it could be converted to WordPerfect and I could use the fonts, Etc. If I could find out this information I would be most grateful. We are in the process of getting WordPerfect 5.1 and QUATTRO PRO and I think it would be worth the change to be able to convert them. ************************************************************************* Robert Williams, Jr. RWILLIAM@UVMVM (Bitnet) Reference Department Bailey/Howe Library University of Vermont Burlington, VT 05405 *************************************************************************

The maintenance upgrade of WP5.1 is supposed to include support for importing Quattro Pro files. I read this in some kind of promotional literature (or maybe a readme file). Anyway, I would call WPCORP to confirm. WP5.1 is also supposed to import LOTUS files. You should be able to save the QUATTRO PRO file as a .WKS or .WK1 file (by specifying the extension when you save it--Quattro then automatically converts to the format implied by the extension), and then import the .WKS file into WordPerfect 5.1. By the way--anyone who needs/wants LOTUS V3.0 functionality but is stuck on a 640K XT-CLONE machine like I am should look long and hard at QUATTRO PRO. There haven't been many programs over the years that I have been truly impressed with, or bowled over by when I first saw them (besides WP, I think there are 2 others), but QUATTRO PRO is one of them. Borland has a nice educational discount, too. I suppose the best tribute to QP is that I no longer care that I don't have a '286 or '386 machine with a bunch of megs. Well, I guess that's not true-- I'd love one, but QP has set back the day of reckoning. Oh yeah---- it works great on '286 and '386 machines too. ************************************************************************* * Mike Dalecki (BITNET - SODALECK@ECUVM1) * Sociology/Anthropology ---------------------------------- * East Carolina University | The World Doesn't Want To Hear | * 405-A Brewster (919) 757-6883 | The Labor Pains-- | * Greenville, NC 27858 | It Just Wants To See The Baby. | *************************************************************************

>> Anyone use Quattro & WP 5.1?
I've imported student Quattro .WK1 spreadsheets into 5.1 with no problem,
but haven't played with fonts. Be glad to respond direct if further info
is required. Bill SMYER@MSSTATE
