I have some old spreadsheets in Appleworks. Some were converted to numbers but a few haven't been. When I attempt to open them in Lion, i get the message: "The document was created with an unsupported version of AppleWorks." It's too late to open in a later version of AppleWorks. Is there a translator available?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
There is some limitation onAW versions and I had to convert them with AW on an older Mac first. I think it has to be an AW 6 document.
This is from Apple: You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6.
FYI another post from 2009 I found.
The iWork (no "s") applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files. The third-party application, EasyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents.
Interesting read.
how do I open old files in appleworks using OSX Lion?
