All my Power PC programs won't work now that I've upgraded to Mountain Lion; ie, I can't pull up any of my reports created in Word, Appleworks 6, or some testing software that I routinely use. Is there any way to access this data?

Use Pages, TextEdit, OpenOffice, Office 2008 or better, or similar software to open them.

Starting in Lion, Power PC applicaitons will not work. I understand that the installer program for MS Office 2008 is a Power PC program so you can't install MS Office 2008 in Mountain Lion. I suggest upgrading to MS Office for Mac 2011. It will install. Your previous Word data should open. I don't know of MS Office 2011 will convert Appleworks documents. Someone else might be able to help with that.

Thank you for responding! It worked.
Unless formatting is a big problem, I'd save yourself the $150 for Word and just open those documents through text edit. I had the same problem, but I didn't have tons of docs so I didn't mind the hassle.
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I can't access any of my Word documents. What do I do? This is critical because all my reports are in Word format.
