Problem

Solutions: Problem : The customer made a simple one-column spreadsheet in Lotus 1-2-3. This file consisted of numerical data in cells A1 through A3. He saved this file as a .WK1 file in Lotus. The customer then imported the file into WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS using the Ctrl-F5 spreadsheet import feature. Now the file is properly in a table format but all the dollar signs ($) and all amounts in cents (.45 for example) are missing. The customer has had the same problem with other spreadsheets. Answer: A possible work around for the problem is done in Lotus by globally changing the format of the cells to a fixed format. This, however, will drop all dollar signs in Lotus, and they will not appear in the table in WP. Status: Next Interim after 11/06/89 ***|next interim|*** Press Enter on link token.
