Convert WK3 to 123

Understanding WK3 and 123 file formats

The WK3 file format is associated with Lotus 1-2-3, a spreadsheet program that was popular in the 1980s and 1990s. WK3 files store spreadsheet data, including formulas, text, and numbers. On the other hand, the 123 file format is also linked to Lotus 1-2-3 but represents a later version of the spreadsheet files. Converting WK3 to 123 can be necessary for compatibility with newer versions of Lotus 1-2-3 or other spreadsheet applications that support the 123 format.

How to convert WK3 to 123

To convert a WK3 file to a 123 file, you will need software that can read both formats. One of the best options for this conversion is Lotus 1-2-3 itself, if you have access to it. However, since Lotus 1-2-3 is no longer widely available, you might need to use alternative software or converters.

Best software for WK3 to 123 conversion

Gnumeric is a free and open-source spreadsheet application that can open WK3 files and save them in the 123 format. Here’s how you can perform the conversion using Gnumeric:

• Open Gnumeric and go to File → Open to load your WK3 file.
• Once the file is open, navigate to File → Save As.
• In the save dialog, choose the 123 format from the list of available formats.
• Click Save to complete the conversion.

Another option is to use online file converters, such as Zamzar or Convertio, which support a wide range of file formats and can handle WK3 to 123 conversions.
