Converting Appleworks 6.2.3 documents created on an iMac OS 9.0.4. to Pages on my new MacBook Pro OS 10.8.3.

I have many Appleworks 6.2.3 documents created on an iMac OS 9.0.4. I want to convert these files to Pages on my new MacBook Pro OS 10.8.3. so I can share the documents with newer computers that use Microsoft Word. How do I do this? Pages can't read my Appleworks documents. When I try to open the older document with Pages, the window says, "The document “Name” couldn’t be opened." These older documents show up on my new computer as Unix Executable Files. Any help would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Hello,

yes, unfortunately, the current OSX version of LibreOffice 4.3.0 can no longer make use of many external filters, more precisely all filters of http://www.documentliberation.org/projects/ :-~ So while this problem is not corrected, if you need to convert one of these formats, it is better to continue using LibreOffice 4.2 ....
