That was a typo. I meant "a PDF type of format" I don't know how to save an Appleworks spread sheet as a PDF. Really I just want to email some spread sheets.

Im' so mad at Apple for not having an easy update path for the older Power PC's using Apple Works to load on my new iMac using OS 10.8.5! I have 100's of files that are going to be lost I guess.

Loyal Mac user since 1984 too!

If you have the iWork application Numbers you can open and use AW 6.2.9 spread sheets and save in this format. Or you can export the ss opened in Numbers as PDF, Excel, or CSV. I don't know about Excel or CSV but the PDF is a fixed picture and will not allow functions.


I have just tested a newly created AW 6.2.9 SS doc with my G4 PowerBook (OS X 10.5.8). I opened and saved the new AW 6.2.9 SS in iWork 09 Numbers native format then emailed this to myself. I opened the email with my MacBook Pro (MId 2010 OS X 10.7.4,) and saved the SS Doc to the desktop. It opened with a double click in iWork 09 Numbers and was fully functional.


What I have done with my Claris Works and Apple Works ss docs is convert all to numbers which maintains the ability to alter and copy the data. Getting the Claris Works docs converted required an older version of Apple works that will read them and allow the saves to be read by v6.2.9.
