[4] If wildcards are used in the Excel file names, and the output file path is specified, the output file name must be "*". [5] If wildcards are used in the Excel file names, and the /O switch is not used, the program will display an error message in case an output file already exists, but it will then continue to convert the next file instead of aborting. [6] If Excel was already active when this program is started, any other opened spreadsheet(s) will be left alone, and only the spreadsheet(s) opened by this program will be closed.
