Lotus 1-2-3 to OpenDocument Spreadsheet converter

• Lotus 1-2-3 is opened by our office engine headless and exported as OpenDocument Spreadsheet, prioritizing office fidelity for lotus-to-ods.
• Cell values, visible formatting, charts, and sheet page setup influence export; formulas are evaluated from saved workbook state.
• Macros, scripts, document automation, and active form behaviour are not executed or preserved in the output.
• Missing fonts are substituted by server fonts, so line breaks and pagination can shift from the authoring machine.
• Tracked changes are accepted as the visible document state; reviewer comments may not appear unless they are visible in the exported view.
• The destination office file is editable but may not keep application-specific templates, themes, or unsupported controls exactly.

We converted our Lotus 1-2-3 sample (151 KB) with Office engine on 2026-10-20. It took 5.9 s and produced a 91 KB OpenDocument Spreadsheet file, 40% smaller than the input. The engine raised 2 warnings, listed below.

• △Fonts that are not installed on our servers are replaced with substitutes, so lines can wrap differently.
• △Range names are not carried over; formulas use plain cell references.

The HTTP API and the MCP server run the exact engine this page uses (Office engine); the response carries the same warnings the web converter shows. Check support first with GET /api/v1/pairs?from=lotus&to=ods.
