Description: Convert is a one-trick pony, but it does its trick well: converting units of measurements. I often deal with source documents using gallons, pounds, inches and degrees Fahrenheit that need to be converted into liters, kilograms, centimeters and degrees Celsius. Simply select the appropriate tab (such as Volume, Distance or Temperature), click on the two units and enter the appropriate number for the source unit.
