What to expect

.wk4files at all - use LibreOffice Calc or Gnumeric instead.
Frequently asked questions
Will I lose data converting WK4 to ODS?
Cell values, text, and most formulas transfer intact. Obscure Lotus @functions, proprietary chart types, and some formatting details may not survive perfectly.
Can I open the converted ODS file in Microsoft Excel?
Yes - Excel reads
.ods files. Convert with LibreOffice Calc first, then open the result in Excel.Does modern Excel open WK4 directly?
No. Microsoft removed Lotus import support in Excel 2007, so you need LibreOffice Calc or Gnumeric to open a
.wk4 file.Which program handles WK4 to ODS better - LibreOffice or Gnumeric?
LibreOffice Calc is the safer choice for most users due to broader format support and active development. Gnumeric is a solid lightweight alternative, especially on Linux.
