# Translate Format Information

Format information can include file attributes in the following categories:

- Major format

- File class

- Minor format

- Major version

- Minor version

Not all categories are required. Many formats include only major format and file class, or major format only.

The format information has the following structure:

    MajorFormat.FileClass.MinorFormat.MajorVersion.MinorVersion

For example:

    294.2.0.9.0

Each number in the format information represents a file attribute. The entry `294.2.0.9.0` represents a Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet file version 9.0, where

`294` = Lotus 1-2-3 Spreadsheet (major format 294)

`2` = Spreadsheet (file class)

`0` = not defined (minor format)

`9` = 9 (major version)

`0` = 0 (minor version)
