Pages/Appleworks compatibility

I am looking to upgrade to Lion, but have to find alternatives to things like Appleworks, Quicken '07, etc. Will Pages '09 be able to read my Appleworks docs? I do have the most recent (final?) version of Appleworks and currently am using OS 10.6.8 until I'm sure everything I have will still work.

Intel Core i3 iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I just read through the "exchange" & I'll continue to use SEE Finance. I thought the SEE Finance rep was calm & reasonable in his/her replies. The "ex-user" seems to be like quite a few we see here wanting Pages to BE Word & refusing to look in the help or contact support directly.


I've had no problems finding what I needed in the help. Sometimes it took a couple of searches to find the correct term, but it's there. I've been trying to find an Intel-friendly replacement for Quicken 2005 for several years. I've used Quicken since 1995. I do still prefer the way Quicken works, but I'm not going to stick with old, unsupported software just because I'm familiar with it.

To be the AW6 successor, iWork MUST integrate a TRUE DB, not a list organizer !

I don't want to have to use a virtual machine just to run Quicken or any other PPC software. I already have a G5 running Tiger so I can run Classic & a Mac mini still running Snow Leopard. Both I can access via screen sharing from my iMac.
