'Convert XLS' transforms the mundane task of file conversion into a breeze. Designed specifically for MS Excel, text, html/xml, and CSV files, this tool is your go-to for converting a single file or an entire library spread across various folders. Some conversions can happen 20 times faster than MS Excel can do.
This app shines when it comes to handling complex conversion jobs regularly. With its ability to save and recall conversion job files, it's like having an elephant's memory for all your conversion task details. These jobs are ready to roll with either its own scheduler or Windows Scheduler, making repetitive tasks a breeze. Plus, 'Convert XLS' can be run from the command line, fitting smoothly into batch files or other third party programs.
