To get this stuff strait, Wingz will read SILK format and Excel will write 
SILK format.  This is the way to get Excel docs from Excel to Wingz.  As 
always, the Mac Bible it a couple of version out of date.  But reading 
Excel docs from Wingz is not as easy as Full Impact. 

This is because Microsoft will not license the file format of Excel the way 
it does with Word...  I guess when you almost own the market, then you 
don't have to share.
