How to Convert Wb3 Files to Xls
Older spreadsheets from Quattro Pro 7.0/8.0, WB3 files often contain useful information that you’d still like to access, but you may prefer to view and manipulate that data in Microsoft Excel as an XLS file. This is easy to do if you still have access to Quattro Pro, but if you don’t, Microsoft provides free converters for Excel 97 and 2000, and natively opens WB3 files in Excel 2003. Unfortunately, this support was removed for Excel 2007, and there are no converters available.
