When you open a. Wk1 or file. Wk3 in Excel, Excel Applies the formatting in the associated. Fmt. Fm3, or. All file. If you save a Lotus 1-2-3 file in Excel format, Excel saves the spreadsheet data and formatting in a single workbook file. The WK1 (1-2-3) (*. wk1) and WK3 (1-2-3) (*. wk3) formats save only limited worksheet formatting. To save to Excel workbook in Lotus 1-2-3 format and retain borders, cell shading, fonts, and other formatting, select a Lotus 1-2-3 file format that stores formatting in a separate. Fmt. Fm3, or. all file.

You can open and save files in the following text formats. You can paste data from the Microsoft Office Clipboard into Excel by using the Paste or Paste Special command on the Edit menu if the Office Clipboard data is in one of the following formats: EMF, WMF, bitmap, SYLK, . Wk1, . Dif, text, csv, rtf, Microsoft Excel objects, Office drawing object, Display Text, OEM Text, html, etc.

There is another tool called as XLS Converter. It is a a simple yet sophisticated Excel conversion tool specifically designed for Excel files, text, or comma deimited (CSV). You can try this out to convert the file in a appropriate format and open the same in Microsoft Office. I think this is not a major issue in Microsoft Office 2010.
