MS Excel 97 2000 XP to IPL conversion is the process of transforming spreadsheet files saved in the legacy XLS binary format (used by Excel 97 through Excel XP) into the IPL document format. This conversion extracts sheets, cell values, formatting and embedded objects where supported, producing an IPL file that preserves the original spreadsheet’s structure for use in applications that accept IPL documents.
