I am tring to go back to review OLD documents created with appleworks but when I try to open those docs. it gives mea window saying they are unsupported appleworks docs. and won't open. Is there any way to open and resave to either Pages or MS Word?

Presumably you are using Pages 4 as the current version, v5, won't open AppleWorks documents at all.

Pages 4 cannot open AppleWorks 5 documents, only v6 Word Processing documents (not the other types).

You may be able to open AW5 WP documents in LibreOffice (free). Panergy Software's docXConverter v3.2 ($19.95) can convert Appleworks 5 and 6 Word Processing documents to RTF (though it has been reported that it can only handle documents which contain only text, not those which include images or frames).

For more information including other document types please see
