Q: How to convert Graphic-Converter of AppleWorks in Pages?

Hi

 

I d'like to upgrade to OS X Lion. I know, that I can open AppleWorks-Docs with Pages. But I have made many docs with the Graphic-Converter (fractions, roots etc.). These elements cannot be edited by Pages.

 

What can I do?

 

Thanks

 

Chris

    Do you mean Graphic Converter the separate program? This is nothing to do with Appleworks, and creates images in a variety of formats which can be opened by GC in Lion or often by Preview.

     

    You mention fractions,etc: Appleworks has an Equation Editor but it simply places the equations in a WP or other document which if it's WP can be opened by Pages - though I don't know whether you can further edit these once converted - quite possibly it's one of the embedded items Pages can't render.

    Thanks, Roger

     

    I ment the Equation Editor. I tried to write a fraction in the Equation Editor of AppleWorks and to paste it into a Pages-Doc, but I made it with OS 6. It worked, but  it's not possible to edit the fraction anymore. I don't know, if the Equation Editor will still run in OS 7. I could use the Equation Editor of Word. So I have at least the possibility to create new terms.

     

    Or do you see an other possibility?

     

    Kind regards

    The Equation Editor will be PPC and won't run in Lion, I'm afraid.

    Thanks again!

     

    So I hope, the Equation Editor of Word will run - let's see!

    Hi Roger

     

    Yetserday I chanched to OS X 7. The EE of Appleworks doesn't run anymore - as you said, but I can still create fractions etc. with the EE of MS Word.

     

    This as a little information. Thanks again for your help!
