Since you've posted in the AppleWorks forum, by "Works" I assume you mean AppleWorks. There are a few options to get to the contents of that file.
The easiest & most reliable option other than using AppleWorks or Pages 4 or earlier would be to open the file with LibreOffice. It's a free, open source, Office clone that does a very good job of opening AppleWorks & ClarisWorks files. You can then save them as RTF or Word.
Second would be to open the file with TextEdit that comes with OS X. You will get a lot of "garbage" formatting text before & after the actual text. That formatting can be many pages long.
Third would be to look at the options available from Panergy Software. They do have demo software to try.
