We have a person who has had to shift from a Mac to a PC for various
imaging software reasons. Unfortunately they have a huge number of
documents in AppleWorks format.

Does anyone have an unloved copy of Appleworks for Windows they would
like to sell me and make my life easier ?

Please reply here if you do.

TIA

Something else you may wish to try is a Google search for Convert
Appleworks.

Might be tricky, depending on which version of AppleWorks they were
using.

AppleWorks 5 for Windows was available as a retail product.

AppleWorks 6 for Windows was only available in the educational market,
not as a retail product. This may make it difficult to locate.

If they were using AppleWorks 6 on the Mac, they need AppleWorks 6 for
Windows to read the documents (unless you go through all the documents
and "save as" an earlier version, in which case you might as well
convert them to something else).

Apple's Pages application (part of iWork, but only runs on a Mac) can
read AppleWorks word processor documents. Microsoft Office on the Mac
might be able to, if they've done a translator (I haven't gone looking)
but I don't know whether they would have bothered for the Windows
version of Office.
