Copy-and-paste; worked fairly well on second try (see previous email).
Using OOo2.
Thanks for the info re not being able to open Works in Calc.

If we are to help you we need a little bit more information please.
Which version of OOo (OpenOffice.org) are you using?
When you say "copy" a spreadsheet from Works, do you mean highlight part
or all of a spreadsheet and copy to the clipboard, then paste into Calc?
Or are you trying to open a Works spreadsheet in OOo Calc?
If you are trying to copy and paste, this should work. If it doesn't
then tell us what you see if you copy from Works and paste into Notepad.
If you are trying to open a Works spreadsheet in OOo Calc, you can't.
The following is an extract from an earlier reply to another user
wanting to do this:
There is currently no filter for importing MS works files into
OOo. The file format for MS Works is secret closed propriety
format which MS refuses to disclose. Many of MS's own programs
are incapable of opening Works files. Discovering the structure
of MS file formats and reverse engineering them demands a great
deal of time, skill and resources. OOo developers have limited
resources and many demands for features and enhancements to be
added to an already fine program. There is an existing RFE for
this in Issuezilla
