Understanding 123 Issues


Issues Opening 123 Files

Apache OpenOffice Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open 123 Files" when trying to open your 123. When this happens, it is commonly due to Apache OpenOffice missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your 123 with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you don't have Apache OpenOffice installed, and you know of another program to open your 123 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Wrong Version of Apache OpenOffice is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Apache OpenOffice installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your 123 file and clicking "Properties".


Summary: Not having the right Apache OpenOffice version on your computer can cause problems opening 123 files.
