Q: Must be way to open Appleworks documents. Anybody?

There must be many people who used Appleworks for business purposes and which is no longer supported. There must be a way to translate and open these documents. Any suggestions would be very helpful. In three years or so, will we find ourselves in the same position re Pages. Sorry, but we can know longer support Pages.

Thank you.

I have a new computer but I still have my old computer. Can I move Pages onto my old computer and convert and then move to new one. Probably Pages will not work on my previous computer.

Thanks. I have hope now. However, when my document opens I get an error message about a missing font which I'm not sure how to correct and my document is out of alignment in some parts but it's a start.

It's possible that you may be able to download fonts from online and add them to your computer.
