Re: [aclug-L] excel translator

["Bryan A. Nelson" <bryanan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i may have spoken to soon...

i tried pulling up a couple of excel spreadspeets in applixware.  if it
is a spreadsheet with data only it imports okay.  however, a spreadsheet
with any vba code, command buttons, or menus doesn't look pretty.  which
begs the question, "what's the point of having an import filter that
doesn't import?"
