All the formatting, fonts, attributes and formulas in the spreadsheet were stripped away, leaving us the task of reformatting each document after the transfer. While this isn't as bad as retyping the document, we did spend a considerable amount of time trying to reformat the document or spreadsheet back to its original form. Enable Software has formed a strategic alliance with Microsoft to help Enable users migrate to the Microsoft Office software suite. They have a conversion disk that will convert Enable 3.0, 4.0 and 4.5 word processing, spreadsheet and database files to Microsoft Word, Excel and Access files. Their offer is also good for the OA software on Desktop IV purchases, whether it was bought as a stand alone package or pre-installed on a system.
Site Licenses are also eligible.
The conversion software installs conversion filters into Word, Excel and Access. These filters convert files created in Enable versions 3.0, 4.0 and 4.5. Although menus, macros and procedural language are not converted, this is a great time saver for your documents, spreadsheets and data. If you have questions once you receive it, call their technical support number. There is no charge for the support.
