Opening .wk1 files
I downloaded and installed Apache Open Office, tried using it to open my
old .wk1 files, and did not get an error message but the files did not
open. I then discovered that my .wk1 files have all been converted to
OpenOffice files. Now what am I supposed to do to open the files? Nothing
seems to work.
Thanks,
Merrill Medansky

I’m not an expert, but I would try emailing them to yourself and then opening them from there.

I think .wk1 is an old QuattroPro extension. If so open it in some version of that program and SaveAs a .xls, which Calc can then open.
Be forewarned tho, that the conversion may be imperfect -- some QuattroPro functions have no exact Excel equivalent.

.wk1 is a Lotus 123 extension. If you have this program installed still try
opening it with the program itself.

Is it possible to get a word count in the text, or do you always have to go
back to tools.
Thanks

Open the program that you had been using for opening .wk1 files.
Then open your files from within this program.
What you have is a file association problem. If you use Windows,
search Help for "file association". It should tell you how to "convert"
them back.
For that matter, these files were not converted at all. Your
operating system decided to change what program it will use to open
these files when you double click on them.
