Office workers and database administrators frequently have to export documents to new formats. There are many reasons for it. For example , you've been mailed a file that you current application cannot open, or you have to export a document to a new format because your client asked you so. Conversion is necessary if you have, for example , a Excel table and want to post its content to the Intranet or Web. Sometimes conversion to other formats may be a hard thing but there is some relief in sight, at least for those who need to do XLS export.

A very smart little piece of software called XLS Converter lets you export any Excel document to new formats and it does this without asking for Microsoft Excel, or external drivers like ODBC or BDE to connect to an Excel table. In other words, you can not have Microsoft Excel installed but you'll be able to do XLS conversion . With XLS Converter handy , it's possible to export XLS to over ten popular formats, such as Dbase III/IV, Visual FoxPro, text files, HTML, Clipper/Foxpro PRG, XML, Excel, CSV, SQL and RTF. After you download and install the program , you can immediately start because it's very easy and does not require more than a few mouse clicks to export XLS. Just choose a file to be exported, check that the default settings are what you want , click the START button. That's it and it's just that simple . In most cases these operations are enough to prepare for conversion but you can also do a bit of customization here and there: edit name sizes, types of columns and set the tool to skip duplicates, if necessary .

On smaller files, conversion is almost instantaneous - a couple of seconds, no more. When you're exporting a large XLS file or batch of files, it'll take a little bit of time to finish . but no matter how big the original might be or how many files can be in the batch, the conversion does not degrade your system performance. That's because XLS Converter relies on the algorithm that was optimized to bring the fastest conversion speed without slowdowns. So, while the process is on, you can switch to another application and work in it until the end of the conversion. When everything is over , the results are amazing. In fact , you see the content and structure of the original but in a new format. The program ports everything correctly, so that the result looks just what the daddy asked.

Having XLS Converter eliminates all problems related to XLS conversion . Buying dedicated database packages to export XLS to DBF, CSV, SQL or HTML might easily cost you hundreds more. XML Converter is really inexpensive costing at $29.95 for a license, so you should definitely set your sights on it. And since you can export XSL to DBF, TXT, HTML, XML, CSV, SQL and RTF, it's like having several costly database packages for one super small price!
